Union Fury as Career Criminal Gets Out on Bail

SEPTEMBER 27 -- Stations VP Robert Kelley reacted with anger in front of the Bronx Hall of Justice when the judge rejected the people's request for higher bail and instead let career criminal Alexander Wright go free after he posted $500 for a bail bond. He is facing assault charges in an attack on Cleaner Anthony Nelson in 2022.

"CTA Anthony Nelson is dealing with a lot of mental [anguish] today," Kelley said. "He is very disheartened that this man is free after what he's done to him." Wright broke Nelson's collarbone and nose and the Cleaner had to have multiple surgeries.

Wright has another court appearance on Monday, and if he doesn't appear, he will again be subject to arrest.
