NEW YORK (VINnews) — A Bronx woman accused of attacking a Jewish subway rider in what prosecutors described as an antisemitic assault was ordered held on $10,000 bail during a court appearance conducted from a Manhattan hospital psychiatric ward, according to the New York Post.

Diana Smith, 45, pleaded not guilty Monday to charges including assault as a hate crime, harassment and criminal obstruction of breathing stemming from an alleged attack aboard a Manhattan-bound subway train on May 31.

Prosecutors allege Smith targeted a 23-year-old Orthodox Jewish woman riding the C train in Lower Manhattan, making antisemitic remarks before physically assaulting her. Authorities said the victim suffered injuries that required medical attention.

According to the New York Post, Smith appeared virtually from Bellevue Hospital, where she is currently receiving treatment. Prosecutors sought a higher bail amount, while defense attorneys argued for her release without bail. A judge ultimately set bail at $10,000.

Court records indicate Smith has been charged with multiple offenses related to the incident, including hate crime allegations that could increase potential penalties if she is convicted.

The alleged attack occurred amid ongoing concerns about antisemitic incidents in New York City, where police have reported elevated levels of anti-Jewish hate crimes in recent years.

The victim, whose name has not been publicly released, previously described the encounter as both physically and emotionally traumatic.

Smith is scheduled to return to court in September as the case proceeds.

The allegations against Smith remain unproven, and she is presumed innocent unless convicted in court.
