A man who sucker punched an MTA worker at a midtown Manhattan subway station was sentenced to seven years in prison for the unprovoked attack that left the woman with several head and facial injuries.
Robert Ray, 35, pleaded guilty to an assault charge after prosecutors said he attacked the worker in September 2024 at the 53rd Street and Lexington Avenue subway station while she walked to a bathroom and checked on an escalator.
Ray admitted he ran up behind her and punched her in the face before fleeing the station.
The victim, station agent Tamika Davis, suffered a gash to her face, swelling, and pain. She said Ray deserved more than seven years in jail. She also urged the NYPD to put more cops in the subways and on the platforms.
“I’m glad he’s going to be off the streets so he can’t hurt anyone else,” she said. “I’m glad that justice was served and he got the time that was given, but I wish it would have been more.”
Ray was also sentenced to an additional five years of probation once he’s released from prison

It’s with profound sadness to announce the sudden passing of Chief Charles “Chucky” Scholl. Appointed to the NYPD in November, 1979, Chief Scholl served the NYPD exceptionally during his 41 yr career. All who knew him respected & loved him. Chief Scholl will be missed immensely!
Active SGT Latisha Keirsey of @NYPD76Pct passed away last week after battling a long term illness. This morning she was carried to her final place of rest. #NeverForget
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our own Sergeant Latisha Keirsey. She was a beloved friend, colleague and a talented supervisor. Sergeant Keirsey truly was an inspiration in the lives of so many! May God grant her eternal peace.
Today your Domestic Violence Officers apprehended an individual wanted for a past crime. During the apprehension they recovered this illegal loaded firearm. Yet again, your officers went into harms way to ensure the safety of everyone in our neighborhood.
Great job by our officers who made the 2nd overdose rescue in as many days, as Officers Mathews & Antoine also successfully utilIzed naloxone to revive an unconscious & responsive person yesterday.
While patrolling in #Brooklyn, Lieutenant Frank & Officer Aparicio of the @NYPD76Pct responded to an unconscious & unresponsive person.
P.O. Aparicio effectively administered 2️⃣ doses of naloxone, allowing the aided to gain consciousness and be taken to a local hospital by EMS.
NYPD cops perform amazing feats every day, simply because it’s “what they do.”
It’s my privilege to join Deputy Inspector O’Malley today as we recognize the too-often unheralded work of @NYPD76Pct’s Finest.
I thank each and every one of them for their service and dedication.
Perhaps the most crowded tree they ever spent Christmas morning gathered under! Merry Christmas to all, including our day tour patrol officers who got out of bed and rushed to see... Lt. Frank! (He is also a very jolly man though)
Happy Thanksgiving from the Sergeants Benevolent Association of the NYPD. We are thankful for family, friends who have become family, for our city, state & nation, and for the frontline supervisors working this holiday weekend. #SBA#GivingThanks
Time flies when you’re having fun!
Congratulations Chief Scholl from @NYPDBklynSouth on 40 years of service (and counting) to our great city.
Looks like the class of 1979 celebrated #movember as well! 👮🏻♂️
