Conor was taken from the 78th Precinct in Brooklyn at about 10:23AM on Friday, just a block away from the Barclays Center, and transported to Brooklyn Central Booking where he was processed for his Arraignment. After his appearance before the Judge, Conor was able to post his bail in the amount of $50,000 before walking out to face the media with his head held high and his chin up. He then disappeared into the back of a white GMC SUV double parked in front of the Courthouse.

According to Authorities, Conor threw a hand truck through a window of the bus, causing a man inside to sustain lacerations to the face. The injured man, said to be in his thirties, was taken to Methodist Hospital for treatment. Conor is also accused of throwing a dolly through another window of the bus, causing a 24yr old man inside to sustain a cut to the eye. This man was also taken to Methodist Hospital. A 47yr old man also alleges that Conor punched him several times to the face with a closed fist, but he declined to go to a Hospital.

As a result of all this mayhem, the NYPD charged Conor with one count of Assault 3, two counts of Assault and one count of Criminal Mischief, for causing $6,400.00 in damages to the bus. Arrested along with Conor was 25yr old Cian Cowley, also from Ireland. According to Authorities, a 36yr old Equipment Manager stated that his left hand was injured and swollen, after he tried to prevent Cian from attacking the bus. The NYPD charged Cian with one count of Assault and one count of Criminal Mischief for causing $6,400.00 in damages to the bus. Cian walked out of the Courthouse right behind Conor, and joined him in the back of the GMC SUV amid a media crush. Both Conor and Cian are due back in Court at a later date.

Mayor Bill de Blasio on Thursday called for tougher state laws to get dangerous drivers off the streets of New York City. The call comes after 1yr old Joshua Lew and 4yr old Abigail Blumenstein were killed on 9th Street at 5th Avenue in Brooklyn back on March 5th, 2018. If the Mayor gets his way, drivers would see an expansion of the speed camera enforcement program, progressively higher fines and registration revocation for the worst drivers. Mayor de Blasio also wants doctors to notify the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles of medical incidents that cause a driver to lose control of their vehicle.

“In the wrong hands, a car can be a deadly weapon. We are fighting on every front to make our streets safer, but we need Albany’s help to keep dangerous drivers off the road, before we lose another life,” said the Mayor.

“The NYPD continues to make New York City streets safer for pedestrians, bicyclists and drivers, resulting in the fewest traffic fatalities ever last year,” said Police Commissioner James P. O’Neill. “This proposed legislation would provide us with additional tools to enhance safety, enforce the law, and keep dangerous drivers off the street.”

“After last week’s tragedy in Park Slope, we must act to prevent future tragedies – whether via legislation, street redesign or enforcement.” said NYC DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg. The 44yr old driver of the white Volvo involved in this deadly crash has since had her Driver License suspended but has not been charged, as the NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad continues their Investigation.
