"On Oct. 17, Justice Jackson, an emotionally disturbed homeless man with an extensive criminal history was arrested for allegedly knifing a 51-year-old man in the back during an argument on a Manhattan rush-hour subway train. Jackson, 30, was apprehended the next day after he was identified as the assailant in the D train attack. Attacks on city subways have jumped by 2% this year and over 10% within the last month, according to recent NYPD statistics."
