An MTA station agent was the victim of a brutal attack by subway riders over the weekend in Brooklyn, according to officials with the Transit Workers Union Local 100.

“I was attacked by two girls on the job and they jumped me,” Marshalee Reid said while speaking to members of the media via Zoom Tuesday. “The girl was punching me in my face with the keys that she had and she also had an over knife.”

Police released surveillance photos of two women wanted in connection with the attack.

“How would you feel if at any given time if you were driving a bus or working in a fare area and somebody could just come up and punch you in the face or slash your face,” John Chiarello, president of TWU, said during a press conference Tuesday. “Should anyone have to live like that? I think not.”

The NYPD said the attack happened Saturday at around 1:30 p.m. on the 3 train line near New Lots and Levonia avenues in East New York.

Surveillance video shows the wanted women entering the station with a small child.

Reid said she was helping an elderly man through the gate when a woman jumped the turnstile. She said another woman then came over and asked Reid if she could enter the turnstile for free. When Reid said no, she said both women began beating her up.

The 51-year-old transit worker was taken to a nearby hospital in stable condition after the attack, according to police. But, Reid said she just had brain surgery last June and worries the attack could negatively impact her recovery.

“I have to go to the doctor,” she said. “I know I have to do an MRI. I do know that.”

During a press conference about the latest in a recent string of attacks on transit workers, union officials called on MTA Chair Janno Leiber and Mayor Eric Adams to increase police patrols in high-crime areas.

“There was no camera in the fare rate area in a crime driven area,” Robert Kelly, vice president of the union, said. “Although the crime may be down in the precinct of 75th, it is up in the transit system.”

“I call on the mayor again to surge the police into these areas,” Chiarello said.

Mayor Eric Adams said he also needs help from lawmakers.

“There was a big pushback from our lawmakers to decriminalize. That’s wrong,” he said. “It starts at the gate. Look at how much we had to fix. Look at bail reform, cannabis laws, mental health issues, raise the age, less is more, discovery. We are on the ground policing while legislative decisions impact real New Yorkers.”

According to the data from the MTA, more than 10 attacks have occurred on transit workers from January to March of this year. That doesn’t include an MTA subway worker who was randomly slashed in the face in the Bronx on June 10 or two MTA workers who were punched by attackers less than two hours apart in separate incidents in Queens and Brooklyn two days prior.

NYPD data shows there were 175 incidents of transit crime in this past June — down from 187 in June 2024.

Meanwhile, Reid says she’s afraid to return to work.

“They also threaten me, she said. “They said they’re going to make … someone come and kill me. So yes, I have fear. I don’t want to face these people again.”

According to NYPD data, there are 519 incidents of transit crime in the second fiscal quarter from April 1 to June 30 — compared to 525 during the same time period last year.
