A Bronx woman is due to appear in court this week for allegedly hitting a train conductor numerous times and hitting him with a pumpkin.
Alexis Adams was indicted last month for the alleged attack that occurred on a MetroNorth train on October 11.
According to Metropolitan Transportation Authority police and the Westchester County district attorney’s office, the 21-year-old Adams struck the driver after he was asked to show a ticket and failed to do so.
Adams allegedly hit the driver several times in the face and also hit her with a pumpkin, causing injuries that required stitches.
The suspect faces two counts of assault. He is scheduled to appear in Mount Vernon municipal court on Wednesday. A message was left at the prosecutor’s office seeking information on whether Adams had hired an attorney.
“Assaults like this will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” MetroNorth President Catherine Rinaldi said in a statement.
