<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.</p>
<p>Late last month, 30-year-old Anthony Evans allegedly slashed at an Asian woman with a box cutter in an unprovoked attack in Times Square. 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&amp;utm_medium=news_tab">reported</a>.</p>
<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>
<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>
<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>
<p>Prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office on Wednesday asked that Evans’ 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>
<p>The judge ordered Evans to be held pending a mental evaluation.</p>
<p>The woman who was attacked has been “traumatized,” 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>
<p>“It was a very violent event, a very violent thing to do,” the victim’s 23-year-old daughter told the outlet. “I wouldn’t wish this upon anybody — even my worst enemies.”</p>
<p>The daughter also told the outlet she wanted to know why her mother was attacked.</p>
<p>“I hope it wasn’t for malicious reasons,” she said.</p>
<p>“I just want to make sure that it’s clear that we don’t know what is the motivation behind the attack,” she added. “If it’s mental health-related, I hope [the suspect is] found and receive[s] the necessary treatment. If the perpetrator had malicious reasons, I hope they’re found and prosecuted.”</p>
