23-year-old Kamel Hawkins charged with attempted murder after pushing a random man in front of a moving train in Manhattan.
The incident happened at the 18th Street station this afternoon.
Police say the 45-year-old victim is expected to survive and only suffered a head injury.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE VICTIM?
The victim, a 45-year-old man, was taken to Bellview Hospistal in critical condition with a head injury and a broken rib. He was not struck by the train but fell on the tracks as the train passed. “He is alive! He’s alive,” a bystander screamed as firefighters worked to pull the victim from between subway cars.
The incident occurred on Tuesday afternoon at the 18th Street station in Chelsea, Manhattan, according to police, and took place the same day authorities announced the identity of a woman who was set on fire and killed on another New York City subway train last month.
The suspect in Tuesday’s attack, identified as Kamel Hawkins, has been charged with attempted murder in the second degree and assault in the second degree, the New York Police Department told CNN.
