"Jonathan Davalos, 28, who was taken into custody last year for allegedly assaulting subway conductor Myran Pollack, has been sentenced to 15 years for his role in the October 2024 stabbing. The brutal attack occurred on a 4 train when Pollack asked Davalos to leave at the line's final stop in Crown Heights. Authorities reported that the then-27-year-old Davalos refused to get off, became aggressive, followed Pollack onto the platform, restrained him, and stabbed him 11 times in the torso, abdomen and thigh."
""This defendant nearly killed an innocent man working to keep New York City running. Today's significant sentence holds him accountable for this vicious attack on a hardworking train conductor," Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said. Davalos was initially hit with a 13-count indictment on Monday, including charges of second-degree attempted murder, first- and second-degree assault, and other related offenses, Gonzalez said. He ultimately pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted murder in August."
