A suspect who police say bludgeoned a New York City subway passenger with a hammer on Saturday, purportedly for looking at him 'the wrong way', has been arrested after allegedly stealing a chain from a teenage boy in a train station.
Jamar Newton, 41, became the latest example of the city's failed bail reform push as the alleged serial menace was taken into custody in Manhattan on Sunday after committing a robbery on a subway platform, cops said.
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, court records show

2 years ago, a man with a mattering life on the train attacked me for looking at him the wrong way.
I’ve been riding the NYC subways for years. Always minded my own business and buried my face in a book or my device. Never make face contact with a stranger in NYC. Too many feral animals out there.
Good.
Is Jammar still in Ja-Jail, or did they let him out AGAIN?
I’ve read that New York City transit cops will eye tradesmen who ride on the subways. And here’s why. Many tradesmen carry boxcutters as part of their tool sets. But boxcutters are forbidden on the subways. So the cops are hoping to spot a boxcutter on a belt or in a tool bag. Gotta arrest those dangerous working people!
But evidently you can walk around with a big ol’ hammer and no one will bother you.
Where is Bernie Goetz when you need him.
I think we know what the victims looked like.
Only an army of Paul Kerseys will make New York City safe as long as Democrats are in charge.
The perp must have been listening to Maxwell’s silver hammer by the Beatles.
We need clarity regarding the enemy.
I’d hammer it in the evening...all over this land!
Great memories.
My Grandfather mixed up Candy Land and “If I had a hammer...”
“Hey baby I’ll be your handyman.”
He said “Candyland...good song!”
My sister and I were cracking up.
Is his name “Maxwell”?
Well there you go. :)
All the best, Julie
This man roams free despite numerous arrests because Democrats want him to terrorize the population. The Democrats prevent victims from doing anything to force them to rely on the same corrupt Democrats that put them in harm’s way.
Jamar used a hammer and now he is in the slammer.
Must have played for Bama
“Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer”
And I was right about the perp.
All over THIS man!
I would never live in such a s**thole.
