You read that right. A New York career criminal with over 20 arrests since 1999 was part of the Dem’s catch and release program after he attacked a woman on the subway smearing feces on her face and head. He was released under the ‘no bail’ policy and is currently free to attack someone else.
The alleged perpetrator, Frank Abrokwa, reportedly told cops when he was arrested, “Sh*t happens. Haha. This is a sh*tty situation. Haha.”
Phillips requested an order of protection for the 43-year-old feces victim — prompting an outburst from Abrokwa, who told the judge, “I don’t know that b—h,” referring to the victim.
Poop perp Frank Abrokwa
Frank Abrokwa allegedly smashed his own feces in a Bronx straphanger’s face.
“Can I go with the Brooklyn detectives?” he pleaded.
He then lashed out at the judge, lamenting, “Why am I being mistreated by the system?”
“I’m being respectful. I’m talking to my attorney,” he snapped at the jurist. “You’re talking to her. Not to me. F–k you, bitch.”
At that point, Licitra called the case and had Abrokwa removed from the courtroom — but brought him back in later to continue the arraignment, which lasted about 40 minutes.
Ultimately, Abrokwa was freed without bail — because the charges against him were not bail-eligible under the state’s bail reform laws, despite prosecutors’ request for him to be held on $15,000 bond, or $5,000 cash.

Just before the attack, Abrokwa approached the victim and said, “Hey mami, how come you don’t want to talk to me?,” Phillips said.
“The complainant did not engage with the defendant,” the ADA said. “Instead of taking the lack of engagement in stride, the defendant responded with violence. He walked into a nearby idling subway car and defecated in a bag.”
New York’s “no bail” reforms keep producing rank injustice — and making the city markedly less safe. Manhattan’s new DA has ordered his prosecutors to stop seeking prison sentences for hordes of criminals and to downgrade felony charges in cases including armed robberies and drug dealing.
