Rashid Brimmage sums up so much of what’s wrong with city services: Despite more than 100 arrests, he was free to walk the streets and allegedly push a 92-year-old woman to the ground for no reason.
At long last, Wednesday saw him held on $50,000 bail. His social worker says he suffers from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder; he’s plainly not getting enough help with that — nor has the public been protected from him.
Brimmage was nabbed Tuesday for knocking the elderly ex-teacher to the ground, as seen on video.
In all the years Brimmage has been getting arrested — more than 100 times, with 36 convictions — he’s nonetheless remained free to roam the streets. This year alone, he was:
- Busted for a misdemeanor and harassment charge in The Bronx in February.
- Nabbed for trespassing March 5.
- Arrested on March 9 for criminal possession of a controlled substance, assault and attempted assault.
