Criminal who got off last month is arrested again, this time for assaulting a sanitation worker
A career criminal who had a felony robbery charge against him downgraded at the direction of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was busted again Wednesday in an unprovoked, sucker-punch attack on a city sanitation worker, The Post has learned.
Christian Hall, 30, allegedly sneaked up from behind as the victim, a 55-year-old man, was collecting trash outside 115 W. 23rd St. around 10 a.m., law enforcement sources said.
He then allegedly clobbered the unsuspecting civil servant in the head without warning, causing pain and swelling, sources said.
Hall was arrested at the scene by cops who took him into custody pending arraignment, sources said.
He was charged with second-degree assault, a felony, under a provision of state law that enhances the penalty for attacking certain public employees, as well as menacing and harassment, sources said.
None of which, I predict, will be prosecuted.
Last month, Hall was featured in a front-page Post report about his arrest following a shoplifting incident at the TJ Maxx store in Chelsea.
Hall allegedly threatened workers there with a pair of scissors, but the NYPD’s Sergeants Benevolent Association said a Manhattan prosecutor “intentionally omitted” that information from the criminal complaint.
The arresting officer refused to sign the complaint until it was amended “to include the shears and threatening statement,” the SBA said.
But the third-degree robbery charge that cops lodged against Hall was still reduced to petty larceny under terms of the controversial “Day One” memo that Bragg, a Democrat, issued after he took office on Jan. 1.
Naturally, this is not just the second time Mr. Hall has had a brush with the law:
The Legal Aid Society, which represents Hall in an unrelated Manhattan assault case, declined to comment.

Straphanger slashed with a boxcutter on NYC subway
The victim was on a southbound 5 train at 59th Street and Lexington Avenue on the Upper East Side around 9 p.m. when she got into an argument with another female straphanger, police said.
The suspect then slashed the woman in the forehead with a boxcutter, cops said.
Why not just round these people up and bus/fly them to San Francisco, where the living is easy, and they’ll be welcomed with open arms? It works for our DHS.
