A New York City Health Department Scientist who was brutally attacked with a hammer before being kicked down the stairs of a Queens subway station by an ex-convict has blamed the harrowing experience on the state's soft-on-crime bail reforms, and says she is too afraid to take the subway to work. Nina Rothchild, 58, spoke out this week for the first time since the brutal February 24 attack, telling Melissa Russo in an interview on Wednesday that she still struggles to walk, is weary of strangers on the street and has no immediate plans to resume using New York City's crime-plagued subway system. William Blount, 57, was arrested in late February in connection with the hammer attack and charged with attempted murder, robbery and assault.
