Deranged man pushes Asian woman to death at Times Square subway station
2022-01-16
[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."

#8  Where the hell in the Touchy-Feely Liberal MEDIA and Liberal Democrats on this?

Given their silence and lack of outrage. It almost has me wondering is it RACIST for Blacks to selectively murder Senior Citizen Asians?

Or, is it some strange form of broken woken social justice equalization I will never understand.

#7  #3 Dron, our current policy is to elect the mentally ill to public office where we can keep an eye on them. But there are always some who slip out into the general population.

America barely has a prison system.

#5  the de institutionalization of the mentally ill really took off after the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" came out.

It was probably the most influential movie of the late 20th century.

#2  "Deranged"? He's not deranged. He's a hateful murderer. This kind of thing happens in New York City. The perps are always black. It's not an act of derangement. It's premeditated murder.
