NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A 32-year-old man who wielded "wooden daggers" was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly made "anti-white statements" and threatened to kill a woman aboard a subway train in Manhattan late last month, police said.

Officials said Noquisi Burgess has been charged with menacing as a hate crime, aggravated harassment and criminal possession of a weapon.


The NYPD said its Hate Crime Task Force was investigating the incident, which happened on a southbound 4 train near the Lexington Avenue/59th Street station on the Upper East Side on the morning of Nov. 29.

The 46-year-old victim was riding the train around 7:20 a.m. when Burgess allegedly made "anti-white statements" to her, according to police.

He then brandished wooden daggers and allegedly threatened to kill her, police said.

Photos from police appeared to show the suspect sitting on the floor of the subway train with two sharp pieces of wood.
