Man Stabs Attacker on NYC Subway, No Charges

A 69-year-old homeless man in New York City will not face criminal charges after fatally stabbing one of his attackers during an attempted robbery on a subway train. The incident occurred on December 22, when a group of men tried to steal the victim's bags while he was sleeping, resulting in a violent confrontation captured on surveillance footage. The Queens District Attorney, Melinda Katz, stated that the victim acted in self-defense, stating he was 'accosted, without provocation'. One of the assailants, Stalin Moya, died from his injuries, while another, Philipe Pena, was wounded. Four men involved in the attack have been indicted on charges of assault and robbery. The case highlights ongoing concerns about safety on the subway, amidst a spate of recent violent incidents.
