Second Arrest in Station Agent Assault at New Lots

JULY 24 -- Leschea Aldridge, 25, has been arrested in the June 28th assault on Station Agent Marshalee Reid at the New Lots Avenue on the 3 train. She was arraigned today in Brooklyn Supreme Court. 

Aldridge and an accomplice, Ayizhae Thomas, are accused of jumping the turnstile and illegally entering via the gate while Station Agent Reid was helping another customer. When Reid confronted them the duo reportedly set upon her, throwing her to the ground and hitting her with a set of keys, leaving her with facial lacerations and swelling to her hand.

Station Department VP Robert Kelley said, "I'm very happy that they arrested Leschea Aldridge, and she is still locked up today."

Kelley and the Union are calling on the courts to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.
