Jerk Videotaped Attacking And Shouting Racist Slurs At Subway Passenger Is Obviously A Lawyer

The criminal charges she racked up as a result of this incident will probably get her in some trouble with the bar.

If lawyers could stop disgracing the entire profession, that would be great. This installment of lawyers behaving badly finds us in a New York subway car where a woman is seen violently attacking and spitting on a fellow subway passenger as she screams obscenities and racial slurs.

That woman has been identified as Anna Lushchinskaya (who goes by Anna Lushchinsky professionally), a graduate of New York Law School who was admitted to practice in New York in 2004.

In the videos below, Lushchinsky is seen shouting “f*ck off” numerous times before she begins to slap at passenger Michelle Tung, kick her, and wildly attempt to stab at her with an umbrella while swinging a heavy set of keys in her direction. With a roll of her eyes, Lushchinsky later calls Tung a “f*cking c**nk.” That’s just lovely.

Lushchinsky was arrested and is now facing five charges for menacing, weapons possession, attempted assault, and harassment. She was released on $1,000 bond and has a public defense lawyer, but this wasn’t Lushchinsky’s first time acting out on the subway. This summer, she allegedly pepper-sprayed a man without provocation and was arrested and charged with two counts of misdemeanor assault. Both of her cases have been combined, and she’s due back in court on January 22, 2019.

A law degree will run you about six figures, so it’s no wonder that Anna Lushchinsky couldn’t afford any public decency. We continue to hope against hope that lawyers will behave better in the new year, but let’s face it, that’s simply not going to happen.
