Police say what started as a shouting match between a couple ended when a woman’s boyfriend shoved her onto subway tracks in Manhattan. News 4’s Melissa Colorado reports.

A 29-year-old woman had both of her feet amputated on Saturday after she was pushed onto Manhattan subway tracks and struck by a train, according to police and MTA officials.

The woman and her boyfriend were allegedly arguing on the platform of a Financial District station around 10:30 a.m. when things escalated and he shoved her onto the tracks, police sources said.

Police said she was thrown onto the southbound tracks of the Fulton Street station as a 3 train approached. The woman was then struck by the train.

Medics rushed the woman to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition. MTA sources said the woman lost both of her feet as a result of the train strike.



The perpetrator, meanwhile, fled the station wearing a blue shirt, blue jeans and a dark colored jacket. Police have been canvassing the area for video evidence.

Train service was significantly impacted for several hours as police investigated the incident. The MTA said 3 trains were running again between Manhattan and Brooklyn after a brief suspension.

The suspect, Christian Valdez, fled the station, but was arrested at about 9:35 p.m. at the corner of Jay and Willoughby streets in Brooklyn, when he went to meet a parole officer but was instead met by NYPD, sources said. He was charged with attempted murder and felony assault.

A woman lost both her feet after her boyfriend allegedly pushed her onto the subway tracks — where she was struck by a train in Manhattan, police sources said.

The southbound 3 train was pulling into the Fulton Street Station at Chambers Street Saturday at 10:25 a.m. when it hit the 29-year-old, whose name was not released, severing her feet, cops said.

“They were arguing and he pushed her,” a police source said.

The suspect, Christian Valdez, fled the station, but was arrested at about 9:35 p.m. at the corner of Jay and Willoughby streets in Brooklyn, when he went to meet a parole officer but was instead met by NYPD, sources said. He was charged with attempted murder and felony assault.

The MTA cut power to the third rail and the woman was taken to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition.

It wasn’t clear what the two were arguing about.

One witness said he served in the Iraq war and used his training, which included emergency medical response, to try and help.

“So I went down just to see if there was any way I could contribute,” said the man, who gave his name as William. “And when I went down I saw her between two cars.”

He tried talking to the woman to keep her calm.

“She said something to the effect that she didn’t deserve this,” the 48-year-old said. “She held a part of her flesh to show me that she might have lost her leg.”

He stayed with her for about five minutes until police got there.

“I hope she’s good,” he said. “She’s really strong. She told me she was going to the spa.”

Less than an hour later, a man jumped onto the tracks in Midtown and was fatally struck by a train, cops said.

The fatality happened at Seventh Avenue and West 53rd Street around 11:30 a.m., cops said.

No details were available about the Seventh Avenue incident, which is believed to be unrelated to the Fulton Street shoving.
