NextImg:Bronx rider gets 2-year prison sentence for throwing pumpkin at Metro-North conductor’s face

A hostile Bronx straphanger who threw a pumpkin at a Metro-North conductor‘s face was hit with a two-year prison sentence Thursday after the purse and ID she left behind helped at the scene led to her arrest.

Westchester prosecutors announced the prison-term after Alexis Adams, 23, pleaded guilty last month to the brazen jack-o-lantern attack in 2021 following an argument over train fare.

Adams was on a Metro-North train around 6 p.m. on Oct. 11 of that year when she smashed the pumpkin in the conductor’s face before fleeing at the Mount Vernon West station, the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office said.

But as she quickly ran off, she left behind her purse and ID, according to the district attorney’s office.

The victim was hospitalized with a cut around her eye and ear that required stitches. Adams was later arrested by MTA police following its probe.

The prison sentence was two years.

Adams pleaded guilty to second-degree assault on Dec. 7, 2023. Westchester DA Mimi Rocah said Thursday’s sentencing “holds the defendant accountable for violently attacking an essential worker who was simply doing her job.”

MTA Police Department Chief John Mueller called any attack on an MTA worker “unacceptable.”

“And this case demonstrates again that perpetrators of such assaults will face justice,” Mueller said.
