A woman is lucky to be alive after she was pushed onto the subway tracks in Union Square station in Manhattan Thursday morning, and the horrifying crime was caught on surveillance video.
It happened at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, and the 24-year-old suspect, who is said to be emotionally disturbed, can be seen watching and waiting for the train to arrive before he pushes the innocent victim.
“The whole incident is captured on surveillance video,” NYPD Transit Chief Kathleen O’Reilly said. “It’s very disturbing. We see him waiting, calculating for the train to approach the station. And at the opportune moment, he pushed the victim to the tracks.”
