It’s every New Yorker’s worst nightmare. On Monday, Oct. 4, as Lenny
Javier was waiting for the subway, video shows 29-year-old Anthonia
Egegbara lunge at her, shoving her with full force toward the oncoming
train. A few moments earlier and Javier would be dead; luckily, she
survived with a broken nose, fractured jaw and other traumas.

The victim was random. The attacker was not.

In fact, Egegbara’s history of alleged violence and severe mental illness perfectly matches many attackers who have contributed to the city’s crime underground and above. A diagnosed schizophrenic, she was charged and
released on July 5 with a third-degree assault in Harlem that left her
victim with a black eye, broken nose and a knocked-out tooth. Egegbara had received multiple assault charges over the past decade, as well as other arrests including grand larceny and criminal mischief.

Criminal-justice arguments over the past two years have focused on the imperative to keep offenders in their communities, out on the streets and riding the trains. This reasoning informed the state’s 2020 bail-reform
laws and the progressive emphasis on non-prosecution among Gotham’s
district attorneys’ offices. It inspired the newly passed “Less Is More
Act,” which had the reported immediate impact of releasing 200 inmates
from Rikers Island jail complex.

Further, the prevalence of serious mental illness among the violent
offenders held at Rikers — reportedly nearly one in five inmates have been diagnosed — has been a leading argument for emptying the jail out,
resulting in a recent memo from Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance emphasizing suspending bail.

But after they are released from Rikers, nothing. No mandatory treatment
of their mental illness. No real monitoring of their behavior. That means
many more Egegbaras circulating around the city.

There have already been 21 subway shovings this year where victims were “successfully” pushed to the tracks. This is more than the pushings
reported for all of 2019 — although daily subway ridership at still just
above half what it was that year. And through August 2021, felony assaults
in the subways were about 33 percent above the same period in 2019, with
all violent felonies underground also above 2019 levels.

And the subway is not the only zone where unhinged attackers have turned a banal New York moment into a scene from a horror movie.

On Monday afternoon, a grandmother was walking down a quiet Bronx sidewalk
with three toddlers when Santiago Salcedo, 27, allegedly loped toward them
— then suddenly leapt forward, snatching her 3-year-old granddaughter. Thankfully, bystanders responded to the grandmother’s frantic screams and
got Salcedo to abandon the kidnapped girl.

A week prior, a teenaged girl was eating sushi outside a Queens restaurant
when Minerva Martinez, 36, allegedly shuffled up behind her and put her
neck in a tight stranglehold.

Martinez then released the teen and stood menacingly a few steps back
until a passerby intervened. The frightened victim was bruised, but
luckily escaped without permanent physical injury.

Once again, while the victims were random, their assailants all suffered
from violent mental disturbance. Salcedo was later located by police
sleeping in the entryway to a restaurant. Martinez’s long list of arrests included six felony arrests going back to 2015. In January 2020, police
found her babbling to herself and took her to Elmhurst Hospital. But in
August, a warrant was issued for her arrest on a grand-larceny charge.

And while these victims survived, Maria Ambrocio was not so lucky. The 58- year-old oncology nurse died after being slammed to the ground last Friday
by Jermaine Foster, 26, who cops say was fleeing through Times Square.
Foster had just stolen a young woman’s phone and earlier in the day had reportedly barged into another woman’s home and stolen $15. Now charged
with murder, Foster’s family describes a young man who has been repeatedly hospitalized with mental illness since his teens. And who, since the death
of his father last year, was no longer living with someone supervising his medications and keeping him from violence.

Hizzoner’s signature mental-health boondoggle ThriveNYC has continued to
expand despite its lack of concrete metrics or demonstrable real progress
in reducing mental illness among Gotham’s homeless and inmate populations.

Meanwhile, the criminal-justice system needs support for its mental-health courts to operate judicial-monitoring programs. The city needs to expand Kendra’s Law, which mandates court-ordered treatment — and could even be
grown to include an outreach program to those leaving jail or staying in shelters who could benefit from its care. Not to mention increased
political pressure needed to boost our number of state-managed adult psychiatric beds and to have our nonprofit hospitals devote more resources
to these types of patients.

The city needs to provide better identification of, and long-term
treatment for, our severely mentally ill. But in the meantime, continually reducing the number of violent offenders who are confined increases each
New Yorker’s odds of being the next random victim.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
