A man is recovering from a broken collarbone, sprains & bruises after being shoved onto the subway tracks In a unprovoked attack
David Martin, 32, is a lifelong New Yorker who has taken the subway since middle school and was taking it to work on Friday when he was attacked at the Wycoff Myrtle station in Bushwick for no reason, by someone he barely saw.
“In the blink of an eye, I was pushed with full force into the train tracks,” said Martin.
Police say the attack was unprovoked. While Martin says he may not have made contact with the train or the third rail, he is still badly hurt.
“People were told that I had no injuries, but I am laying in bed with a broken collarbone and my face is so swollen. And mentally I don’t know how to even get through this,” he said.
The plan state and city leaders announced on Saturday promises to tackle subway safety even more aggressively with more police officers, cameras and longer-lasting help for those with mental health issues on the trains and in the stations.
“We must address the perception and the reality of public safety. That perception is what people are feeling,” said Mayor Eric Adams.
