#NYC man gets 12 years for racist attack on black woman, separate attack on cop

A Brooklyn man was sentenced this week to at least 12 years behind bars for his racist attack on a black woman, and a separate assault on an off-duty police officer in 2018, prosecutors announced Thursday.

Aleksejs Saveljevs, 34, was sentenced Wednesday after pleading guilty to stabbing a black woman in a Flatbush subway station on Nov. 9, 2018, then attacking a cop in Sheepshead Bay 13 hours later, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said.

Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Danny Chun handed Saveljevs 10 years for the hate-crime assault on Ann Marie Washington, plus another another two-to-four for attacking the officer.

The Manhattan Beach resident randomly accosted Washington, 57, inside the Church Avenue Q train station at around 7:30 p.m., grabbing her and repeatedly striking her from behind, Gonzalez said.

When an eyewitness approached to help, Saveljevs replied “Black bitch!”

It was only after Washington got home and was lying in bed that she realized she had been stabbed. She was taken to Kings County Hospital and treated for a collapsed lunch, according to reports.

Cops nabbed the assailant the next day after he attacked the off-duty cop, who was out walking his dog when Saveljevs struck just before 9 a.m.

A DNA test later tied the assailant to a screwdriver Washington found in her lunch bag two days after she returned from the hospital.

“This defendant viciously assaulted a fellow subway rider for no other reason than the color of her skin — one of two unprovoked attacks he waged over the course of two days,” Gonzalez said in a statement.

“I hope this sentence sends a clear message that racism and intolerance are unwelcomed here.”
