Defendant Also Punched the Conductor
Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark today announced that a Brooklyn man has been
indicted in assaults on Metropolitan Transportation Authority workers in two separate incidents
in the Bronx.
District Attorney Clark said, “The defendant allegedly splashed two female MTA
employees with urine, and punched one of them. These victims are a subway conductor and a bus
operator who were performing their jobs transporting passengers.”
District Attorney Clark said the defendant, Brandon Jobson, 22, of Rockaway Parkway,
Brooklyn, was arraigned today on second-degree Assault, Attempted Assault second degree,
second-degree Aggravated Harassment, Attempted Aggravated Harassment second degree, thirddegree Assault, Attempted Assault third degree, two counts of second-degree Reckless
Endangerment, two counts of second-degree Harassment and two counts of Disorderly Conduct
before Bronx Supreme Court Justice George Villegas. Bail was set at $10,000 cash/$10,000 bond
and the defendant is due back in court on October 3, 2019.
According to the investigation, on April 12, 2019 at 10:30 AM, at East 138th Street and
Brook Avenue station of the No. 6 train, an MTA Conductor operating a train observed the
defendant on the platform from the conductor window. The defendant allegedly approached the
conductor window and struck the victim with a closed fist once on her head and threw a liquid
substance contained in a bottle at her person. The victim believes the liquid is urine based on the
odor and color of substance. The defendant fled on foot.
According to the investigation, on April 12, 2019, at 11:25 AM, an MTA Bus Operator
was driving a bus on the BX1/BX2 line and upon turning the corner of East 138th Street and Grand
Concourse, she observed defendant standing across the street holding what appeared to be a cup in his hand. The bus operator pulled up to the bus stop in front of 250 Grand Concourse to let
passengers off and on the bus, and while stopped, she saw the defendant standing right outside
her window throw a cup with a liquid substance which landed on her face, clothing and in her
eyes. The victim believes the liquid is urine based on the odor and color of substance. The
defendant fled on foot
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detective Francis Flynn of Bronx Transit Robbery
Squad for his assistance in the investigation.
An indictment is an accusatory instrument and not proof of a defendant’s guilt.
