Court Support Needed as Banker Faces Trial in Assault on Train Operator

An entitled rich investment banker punched one of our female Train Operators in the face for stopping him from going into a non-public area of a Brooklyn station. He was arrested but outrageously was later released without having to post bail.

Next Wednesday, February 8th, he faces his first court appearance. We will be there to demand that he receive justice -- jail time for assaulting a transit worker and TWU Local 100 member.

As Pres. Davis told the press, “the public should be treating transit workers as heroes, not punching bags. Time and time again we’ve stepped up for this city, most recently working through the pandemic, and this is the thanks we get. It has to stop. We will see this guy in court.”

Be there on Wednesday, Feb 8th at the Kings County Supreme Court Criminal Term at 320 Jay Street, 4th floor. Allow time for security check.We will demand that Jean Francois Coste, 53, charged with second-degree assault, a felony, and some misdemeanors, pay for his crime.
