Jean-Francois Coste, 53, was in the Stillwell Avenue station on Coney Island around 12:15 a.m. when he punched the 56-year-old operator as she began her shift, cops said.
Tanya McCray, 56, was leaving the “crew room” on the public mezzanine when she saw Coste – a senior equity analyst at Tocqueville Asset Management – trying to get inside, an MTA spokesman said.
McCray, a 21-year veteran of the MTA and train operator, fought back and began striking Coste with her lunch bag, which had a thermos inside, the spokesman said. After another transit worker came to her aid, the banker ran away down the train platform. Jean-Francois Coste was arrested and charged with assaulting a transit employee, harassment and menacing.McCray, who suffered bruises and was taken to a local hospital, said she hopes her attacker is punished.
The Transit Workers Union plans to make a show of force at Coste’s court hearing, the spokesman said.
