Career Criminal Allegedly Stabs Teen on NYC Subway, Judge Lets Him Go Without Bail

This is some vintage junk justice.

A vagrant with 19 busts under his belt allegedly stabbed a 15-year-old boy with a corkscrew in an unprovoked Brooklyn subway attack — but the judge cut him loose without bail, The Post has learned.

Rondail Henry, 44, was nabbed by cops at the Morgan Avenue subway station after the 2 a.m. Tuesday attack on the teen aboard a northbound L train and booked on several counts, including second-degree assault, according to police.

As that charge is eligible for bail under New York’s controversial bail reform laws, prosecutors asked that Henry be held on $20,000 cash bail, a $40,000 bond or a $100,000 partially secured bond in the case.

But Judge Philip Tisne of the Brooklyn Criminal Court and ordered that Henry be freed on supervised release with no bail, records show.

Tisne, one of the Manhattan prosecutors assigned to the controversial “hush money” case against Donald Trump, has only been on the bench since last month, according to his Linkedin.

“The cops can’t keep playing this catch-and-release game,” one frustrated law enforcement source said about the judge’s decision. “At some point the judicial has to do their part before the 20th arrest is a homicide that we can’t take back.”

Police said most of Henry’s prior arrests are for petty larceny, possession of stolen property, fare evasion and violating an order of protection.

Since 2010, Henry’s busts have included three arrests for illegal possession of a weapon, criminal contempt and petty larceny, two each for possession of stolen property and fare evasion.

He also has two busts for resisting arrest, records show.

According to a complaint in the Tuesday morning alleged assault, the victim got into a dispute with Henry, who pulled out a corkscrew and stabbed the teen in the face, head, back and arms in what police described as an unprovoked attack.

The victim was taken to Woodhull Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, police said.

A relative answering the door at the teenager’s apartment said “he’s better,” but declined to comment further.

The building’s landlord said he was shocked Henry was released.

“Oh wow,” he said. “That’s crazy.”

The incident came in the wake of a series of transit attacks that saw at least five straphangers slashed in the tubes in less than a week, according to police.

So far this year through Sunday, 49 felony assaults have been reported in the city’s subway system, down from the 58 recorded during the same period last year, the latest statistics show.

But last week was particularly violent for the subway system, with 11 felony assaults reported, compared to just six during the same stretch in 2024, according to the data.

The state Office of Court Administration, which oversees Empire State judges, did not immediately comment on Tisne’s decision to release Henry without bail.
