NJ man released with ticket in NYC subway assault that turned fatal – as cause of death remains unclear
NY Post
The New Jersey man charged with assault for punching a fellow Penn Station straphanger — who died hours later — has been released as investigators probe the exact cause of death and circumstances surrounding the clash.
Nassadir Tate, 21, was arrested and charged Sunday with third-degree assault over the scuffle with a 55-year-old man that unfolded on the downtown C/E subway platform at 34th St-Penn Station, according to the NYPD and law enforcement sources.
He was soon released with an order to appear in court on April 1, according to cops. By law, the misdemeanor assault charge qualifies to be handled in that manner.
A relative outside Tate’s home in Hillside, NJ, insisted to The Post that Tate — who identifies as a “part-time model” and “soon to be programmer” on his LinkedIn — was innocent.
“Nassadir is a good kid. He’s never gotten into trouble,” the relative, who did not give their name, said Monday.
“He’s not a troubled person. He’s not an instigator. He’s not a violent person,” the relative added.
