Career criminal who attacked elderly man on train freed without bail

Career criminal who attacked elderly man on train freed without bail

A recent incident in Lower Manhattan has brought attention to the issue of repeat offenders being released back onto the streets without bail. Johnson Earl, a 44-year-old career criminal with a history of 14 arrests, was arrested on New Year’s Day for assaulting an 83-year-old man on a subway train. Despite prosecutors requesting $75,000 cash bail or $100,000 bond, Earl was released on supervised release by Judge Beverly Tatham.

The assault occurred when the elderly victim tripped over Earl’s foot on a southbound No. 5 train approaching the Fulton Street station. Earl punched the man in the face, leading to a brawl that ended with Earl putting the victim in a chokehold and continuing to beat him. The victim sustained cuts on his face and head and sought treatment at Kings County Hospital Center.

This is not the first time Earl has been involved in violent incidents. In July, he was arrested for punching a security guard at a 99-cent store in the Bronx. Despite being ordered to stay away from the victim in that case, Earl’s case was adjourned in contemplation of dismissal. He has been arrested at least four other times for assault dating back to 1999, as well as for criminal possession of a weapon and marijuana possession.

Earl’s Legal Aid Attorney, Lizzie-anne Beal, defended his release, stating that he was rightfully released. Earl is scheduled to appear in court on February 27.

The incident involving Earl is part of a larger trend of violence in the city’s transit system. In 2024, there were 579 felony assaults recorded by the NYPD’s transit bureau, slightly higher than the previous year. Ten murders were reported on the rails, matching a 25-year high set in 2022. However, overall major crime in the transit system decreased by 5.4% compared to the previous year.

The case of Johnson Earl highlights the challenges of dealing with repeat offenders and the need for a comprehensive approach to addressing crime in the city’s transit system.
