A homeless career criminal has been arrested and charged with brutally assaulting a nurse after he was caught on video repeatedly throwing the victim down the stairs at a Seattle light rail station in an unprovoked attack.
Alexander Jay, 40, was taken into custody earlier this month and charged with second-degree assault. As of Monday morning, he remained jailed on $150,000 bail.
According to court documents obtained by DailyMail.com, shortly before noon on March 2, Kim Hayes, 62, got off the light rail at the Chinatown-International District station near downtown and was walking up the stairs when Jay grabbed her and threw her back down.
Jay has been convicted 22 times in Washington state and California, including on charges of burglary, theft, selling stolen property, drug possession, auto theft and multiple counts of domestic violence.
He was most recently convicted in 2021 of a residential burglary.
Additionally, since 2016, Washington state courts have issued more than 15 bench warrants for the defendant for failing to attend hearings.
Jay is due back in court on March 24.
The horrific attack comes as Seattle continues to be plagued by crime from homeless encampments that have sprouted in the woke Pacific Northwest bastion. Last week, Amazon announced it would relocate 1,800 workers from its downtown offices over fears for their safety.
