Deranged man pushes Asian woman to death at Times Square subway station
[NYPOST] A deranged homeless man allegedly shoved an Asian woman to her death in front of an oncoming subway train Saturday morning in Times Square, police said.The horrifying episode unfolded at 9:40 a.m. just nine minutes after the man was caught on video on the platform at the Times Square station at West 42nd Street and Broadway, police said.
The 40-year-old woman was waiting on the southbound platform when she was shoved onto the Q train tracks and hit, police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said in a late afternoon press briefing in the station.
"This incident was unprovoked and the victim does not appear to have any interaction with the subject," Sewell said.
The suspect had first approached another woman, who was not Asian, who became alarmed and moved away, said Assistant Chief Jason Wilcox of the NYPD Detective Bureau.
"She feels that he was about to physically push her onto the train," he said. "As she’s walking away she witnesses the crime where he pushes our other victim in front of the train."
