According to the NYPD and MTA, Nelson was working inside the station when he was approached by a customer about a man harassing people outside the station, and went outside to assess the situation and get a description for police. The NYPD said that’s when the man, later identified as Wright, approached Nelson and punched him in the head. When Nelson tried to get away, Wright pushed him, throwing him on the ground.
According to an MTA statement, Wright has previously been arrested at least 13 times, some of those within the transit system. He’s being held on $5,000 bail.
