NEW YORK (AP) - A man accused of disrupting dozens of New York City subway trains has been arrested again in connection with a video that shows a woman being violently shoved into the side of a train car in Brooklyn.

Police say Isaiah Thompson was arrested Thursday on assault and other charges. Information on his lawyer wasn’t immediately available.

The video shows a man lunging at another man and jumping and screaming “What!” before turning on the woman and shoving her head first into the idling train. It happened Wednesday.

The 28-year-old Thompson was arrested in May after police said he was the man seen on a video pulling a train’s emergency brake and fleeing.

Police believe Thompson is responsible for dozens of similar brake-pulling stunts that caused extensive delays.
