His next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday, June 17th, 2025 at 9:00 AM at Bronx Criminal Court, located at 265 East 161st Street, Bronx, NY 10451.

This proceeding is marked as a felony arraignment with the highest charge being “Assault in the Second Degree.” While the accused awaits facility assignment, his case and booking number (2412501251) have already been logged into the system, confirming that this process is actively moving forward.

We strongly encourage our union family to show up and stand in solidarity at this court date. Your presence matters. When one of us is attacked, we are all attacked—and we will never stand by silently. Together, we are stronger, louder, and unbreakable. Let’s continue to stand united in support of our fellow Conductor and send a clear message: We will always show up for our own.
