New York (Washington Insider Magazine) – A woman was pushed yesterday by another passenger from a New York Subway platform at an air station on the 7 line in Queens.
The incident occurred around 1 p.m. Wednesday at the 90th Street station. Miraculously the unidentified victim did not make contact with a train or the electric rail and therefore the train service was not disturbed.
The woman was taken to Elmhurst Hospital with an arm injury. The suspect fled the scene. He was described as a male approximately 5’7″ tall wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans. No further details were available at this time, ABC News reported.
No arrests have been made or suspects identified. Anyone with information should call 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) and in Spanish 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Also through crimestoppers.nypdonline.org or by text to 274637 (CRIMES), followed by TIP577. All communications are strictly confidential.
These types of incidents have become common on the New York Subway. In late July, a 14-year-old boy was pushed onto the rails at a Brooklyn station by a man and miraculously escaped being hit by a train. Apparently the assailant was upset because the minor accidentally tripped him when they disembarked from an L line car at the Bedford Avenue stop.
Since taking office in January 2022, former NYPD Mayor Eric Adams has announced multiple times that he would double the number of NYPD officers in the subway system in a beefed-up security plan to address violence in the chaotic NYC Subway. But so far the fatalities have continued.
Earlier this month, three people died on the same day on the subway tracks at stations in Manhattan. Also on the same day in May, a 30-year-old man was strangled to death in the middle of an argument aboard a train in the middle of the afternoon in Lower Manhattan. Hours later another passenger was stabbed in Queens.
In addition to the crime and violence, at least seven teenage “surfers” have died and others have been seriously injured this year on the NYC Subway, climbing on the roof or traveling between cars, apparently motivated by challenges that have gone viral on the networks. social. A record 928 people were caught riding outside New York Subway cars in 2022, more than four times the number of the previous two years.
