On Wednesday, prosecutors said the attack occurred after Evans was allowed to walk free following a violent robbery just days earlier, the New York Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/08\/03\/accused-times-square-slasher-set-free-on-violent-robbery-charges-days-before-the-attack\/?utm_source=facebook&#038;utm_medium=news_tab\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On July 22, Evans allegedly stole from the SkyFoods market. A manager noticed the theft and followed Evans out of the store to confront him. Evans punched the manager in the face, according to a criminal complaint reviewed by the Post. Then, on July 26, Evans allegedly stole an 18-pack of Miller Light from a Walgreens, but a female employee was able to retrieve the beer from him outside.<\/p>\n<p>Evans was arrested and charged with both crimes. As the Post noted, he faces charges of second-degree robbery and petty larceny. During his arraignment on July 27, prosecutors asked for his bail to be set at $50,000, but Judge Denise Johnson released him without setting a monetary bail.<\/p>\n<p>While free, Evans allegedly rushed up to a random Asian woman in Times Square and slashed her with a box-cutter in an attack that was caught on video. The woman, a 59-year-old seamstress, required 19 stitches in her hand due to the attack.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s Office on Wednesday asked that Evans\u2019 bail be set at $200,000, citing his earlier release for a violent felony. The slashing attack in Times Square is being investigated as a possible hate crime, the Post reported.<\/p>\n<p>The judge ordered Evans to be held pending a mental evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>The woman who was attacked has been \u201ctraumatized,\u201d her daughter <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/08\/01\/woman-slashed-in-times-square-is-deeply-traumatized\/\">told<\/a> the Post earlier this month. Neither the woman nor her daughter have been named.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very violent event, a very violent thing to do,\u201d the victim\u2019s 23-year-old daughter told the outlet. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t wish this upon anybody \u2014 even my worst enemies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The daughter also told the outlet she wanted to know why her mother was attacked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope it wasn\u2019t for malicious reasons,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want to make sure that it\u2019s clear that we don\u2019t know what is the motivation behind the attack,\u201d she added. \u201cIf it\u2019s mental health-related, I hope [the suspect is] found and receive[s] the necessary treatment. If the perpetrator had malicious reasons, I hope they\u2019re found and prosecuted.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Manhattan man accused of slashing a woman in Times Square was apparently arrested for a violent robbery just three days before the attack, but had been released without bail.
