Police on Sunday arrested a man accused of attacking another man with a hammer in a Manhattan subway station, causing the victim to fall onto the tracks, according to the NYPD.
Cops arrested Jamar Newton, 41, around 8:45 p.m. on charges including assault, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon, police said.
Authorities said the Brooklyn man engaged in a verbal dispute with a 44-year-old man at the Union Square station along the N and R lines, just after 9 p.m. Saturday.

Th attack was racially motivated according to witnesses!
The New York City Police Department announced early Monday morning that 41-year-old Jamar Newton was responsible for the attack and was taken into custody in Manhattan on Sunday after committing a robbery on a subway platform.
Newton, from Brooklyn, was arrested by the police at around 6 pm after officers spotted him running away from an 18-year-old boy in the 125th Street subway station in Harlem.
Court records indicate that Newton was previously arrested in April on five misdemeanor charges, including menacing, petit larceny, criminal possession of a weapon, and criminal possession of stolen property, but was released without bail.
He was then arrested again in late June and charged with petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
Newton was scheduled to be arraigned on Monday morning.
The man wasn’t charged with hate crime and will probably go out of prison again in no time!
Man, 41, 'who bashed NYC straphanger with a hammer' is arrested in attack on teen on subway platform hours later - after being freed without bail in April before being held AGAIN in July

Of course not.
Hate speech laws have always been about thought control because it’s always a subjective opinion.
Murder is murder and well defined.
Hate speech changes by the minute these days.
Interesting report, but what web site is this? How about the author with a very American name writing this sentence:
“The man wasn’t charged with hate crime and will probably go out of prison again in no time!”
Go out of prison? No American is likely to have said that. Frankly I suspect the article, however accurate it may be, is Russian or Chinese propaganda. Cui bono?
I guess they could claim shoddy or no editing or proofreading.

Let me guess. He is black and the cops are afraid to do anything. If he was white they would shoot him.
Because hate crime laws were created to criminalize anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, and to set free non-Whites who physically attack Whites.
Just another turd in the toilet that is NYC now.
Where’s Bernhardt Götz when we need him?
He didn’t need a T-shirt to remind him self of it.
There’s more of him out there.
The application of our laws is situational these days.
The blindfold has been ripped off the eyes of Lady Justice.
Truth, Justice and the American Way! LOL
Someday in the future, after hammers are banned from ownership, we won’t have to read any more stories/watch videos like this.
Bkmk
I’m like that a little, GD, I admit.
