In New York’s subway, another callous attempted murder as man is pushed in front of moving train

Happy Holidays, from New York City, again.

According to the Daily Mail:

NEW YORK — A man was critically injured Tuesday after police say someone pushed him in front of a train at a Manhattan subway station.

It happened around 1:30 p.m. on the downtown platform at the 18th Street subway station in Chelsea. The disturbing incident was captured on video.

Surveillance video obtained by CBS News New York shows the victim, a 45-year-old man, standing on the platform, looking down at his phone. Another man can be seen walking past him on the platform. He disappears for a minute, then is seen again standing behind the man a few feet away. With no apparent warning, he then pushes the 45-year-old onto the tracks just as a 1 train pulls in.

Subway pushings are not new in New York, but incidents like these, and other atrocities, such as the crime of the woman who was set on fire in a New York subway shortly before Christmas, seem to be more frequent — and more shocking as video from cell phones graphically show just what happened.

  1. Almost a miracle that the Victim survived with broken ribs and a head injury but prior to that 2 “fare beaters” had just entered the system so THEY were riding for free .

  2. I remember about 15 years ago, while on vacation, walking around London, noticing CCTV cameras on street corners and attached to most buildings, and I thought to myself ,”It would really suck to live here, being under constant surveillance by Big Brother”. Now it doesn’t seem so ridiculous.

    Locking these animals up and removing them from society would help, but our criminal justice system does not do that anymore. It not only does not protect the law-abiding from the lawless but even if caught the suspect will be treated as a societal failure deserving help and not as a danger to the community at large.

  3. Pusher was black.

    Victim is white.

    Fat Pig DA Alvin Bragg’s racist doctrine of “restorative justice” means that the perp will likely get minimal jail time. Literally 1000x more effort went into trying to destroy Daniel Penny’s life than will be exerted to keep this latest black maniac off the streets.

  4. But let’s impose “congestion penalties” in a few days hoping to encourage more folks to take the subway. LOL. Brain dead politicians who simply DO NOT CARE about the folks paying their salaries.
