Maniac Shoves Man Onto NYC Subway Tracks In Horrifying Video
New York City has seen some horrifying violent crimes recently.
Last week, a woman was burned alive while sleeping on a subway train in Brooklyn. On Monday night, a woman and her young daughter were shot in an attack at a convenience store in the Williamsbridge section of the Bronx. Now, a man was thrown in front of an uptown-bound 1 train at the 18th Street station on Tuesday afternoon, according to reports.
According to AM NY, a 45-year-old man was waiting for the train at around 1:35 p.m. this afternoon when another man shoved him onto the railway.
"Cops say the train struck the victim, leaving him with serious head injuries," AM NY's Dean Moses writes. "He was rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he is fighting for his life in critical condition."
Cops reportedly believe the attack was unprovoked. A "person of interest' matching the description of the perpetrator--"black hooded sweatshirt and gray, ripped jeans"--was taken into custody for questioning.
In the first video above, from NY Scanner, you can actually see the attack happen.
The man in the orange coat can be seen getting shoved in front the incoming train, with two young men who witnessed the incident fleeing in the aftermath as the perpetrator moves off-screen.
"NYC HORROR AGAIN: A man is in critical condition after a maniac shoved him onto Manhattan subway tracks and hit by a 1 train in a random attack at the 18th Street station Tuesday afternoon," the caption for the video reads.
Obviously, we're praying that the victim survives. There have been a slew of recent violent assaults on trains or at stations around New York City, which is clearly bad news for city officials, residents, visitors, you name it.
We'll keep you posted as more details on this matter emerge.
