NEW YORK – The man accused of using a bag of human feces to assault a woman at a Bronx subway station last week reportedly told police “shit happens.”
The disturbing crime occurred at the East 241st Street subway station on Feb. 21 at around 5:15 p.m.
37-year-old Frank Abrokwa was released without being required to post bond.
Bronx Assistant District Attorney Grace Phillips said Abrokwa blurted “Shit happens. Haha. This is a shitty situation. Haha,” after his arrest.
The New York Post reported: Phillips requested an order of protection for the 43-year-old feces victim — prompting an outburst from Abrokwa, who told the judge, “I don’t know that b—h,” referring to the victim.
Can I go with the Brooklyn detectives?” he pleaded.
He then lashed out at the judge, lamenting, “Why am I being mistreated by the system?”
“I’m being respectful. I’m talking to my attorney,” he snapped at the jurist. “You’re talking to her. Not to me. F–k you, bitch.”
Ultimately, Abrokwa was freed without bail — because the charges against him were not bail-eligible under the state’s bail reform laws, despite prosecutors’ request for him to be held on $15,000 bond, or $5,000 cash.
