A 31-year-old man has been sentenced to life in prison for a failed 2017 suicide bombing that disrupted New York City subway access and sent morning commuters running, according to the Department of Justice.

The life-long prison sentence comes after the man, whose name has been withheld per Daily Wire policy, was convicted in federal court for detonating a bomb at a subway station in December 2017. According to NBC News, the bomber’s lawyer unsuccessfully argued in court that her client deserved no more than 35 years in prison because he did not have long-standing ties to extremism, had been struggling with depression at the time of the attack, and had previously “lived lawfully and peacefully.”
