Man Charged with Attempted Murder After Subway Push Incident

Christian Valdez, recently paroled, removed his ankle monitor before the attack, raising questions about parole system oversight.

Christian Valdez, 35, has been charged with attempted murder and felony assault after pushing his girlfriend onto subway tracks, resulting in her losing both legs.
Valdez, who was on parole for a previous assault conviction, had removed a court-mandated ankle monitor days before the attack.
The attack is part of a series of violent incidents involving Valdez, including a 2017 stabbing of a woman and her daughter.
Victims and their families express outrage at the system's failure to prevent Valdez from committing further violence.
Valdez has a history of mental health issues, including a diagnosis of schizophrenia.
