On Friday, a prosecutor said that Stuart was allegedly shoving the rat into people's faces while yelling at them during their daily commute on the city's subway system. After being told to leave the station, Stuart returned and attempted to get back in, prosecutors said. He allegedly swore at officers, took out the rat and threatened the officers.
