Subway feces attack suspect released, immediately re-arrested — and released again

NEW YORK - The suspect accused of striking a woman with feces at a Bronx subway station is now out of jail after being re-arrested in connection with a separate hate crime incident. 

Frank Abrokwa, 37, was arraigned in the Bronx on charges from the subway attack on Wednesday and was released without bail. However, he was then re-arrested after being identified as the suspect in an anti-Semitic attack that took place in Brooklyn in September. In that case, he was given supervised release, which the Brooklyn DA's office said is the highest restriction prosecutors could have asked for.
