Suspect accused of shoving 70-year-old grandma in NYC subway station ordered held on $45K bail

A woman-hating goon accused of shoving a 70-year-old grandmother to the ground at a Midtown subway stations is now cooling his heels at Rikers Island.

Sherlock Arana, a 37-year-old career criminal with 20 busts, was ordered held on $45,000 bail on second-degree assault charges after getting nabbed for the Monday morning alleged attack on Janet Parvizyar, an LA resident visiting the Big Apple.

The victim was at the Lexington Avenue/53rd Street station around 10:30 am when police said Arana came up to her and asked, “What are you doing here?”

The thug then shoved her into the wall, and then to the ground, she said.

“I don’t understand, why did they let them go like this,” Parvizyar told The Post this week. “I mean, they have to do something about this. He’s going to kill somebody.”

Arana has a history of assaulting women, and was sentenced to nine months in jail nearly a decade ago for attacking a woman at a Queens subway station.

He was last arrested in 2023 on a robbery charge – among his nearly two dozen arrests, law enforcement sources said.
