There were calls for justice Tuesday following another disturbing subway crime, this time involving a transit worker. A man is accused of beating a subway cleaner so severely he had to be hospitalized. JohnBDias reports.

The passionate pleas were heard outside the Bronx County Hall of Justice on Tuesday.

"Anthony is not the first, but we want [him] to be the last," said Robert Kelley of Transport Workers Union Local 100."Don't come to work to be punching bags," Kelley said.Last week, Nelson was cleaning the Pelham Bay subway station in the Bronx, when police allege 49-year-old Alexander Wright started to harass customers.

She said she thinks her son is a hero and in her words added the man who attacked him is a menace to society. He was previously arrested more than 40 times. Anthony Nelson's family also said the only reason Wright is currently in custody is because Nelson was able to help hold down the suspect until officers arrived, despite his injuries.

JohnBDias Fire the DA...its a revolving door...no accountability. Soros funded over 70 of these RADICAL District attorneys across the country who go soft on crime, no bail, and out quickly...sad. No gun enhancement, or soft on gun charges. People of NYC pay for this with their lives.

JohnBDias Just make sure you check that D on the ballot since it’s been working so well. Don’t expect a change when you don’t change anything.

JohnBDias Bet he votes Democrat.
