Homeless man shoves guy into oncoming train after argument

[concise]

Queens father fatally crushed by train after deranged man flings him onto Midtown subway tracks - NYPOST.com

As the train’s arrival was announced over the loudspeaker, the attacker “just grabbed [Han] and launched him — just threw him — straight onto the tracks,” a witness said.

The killer then grabbed a paper coffee cup he used to collect change — which he’d put down before the assault — and fled.

Abbasi recalled, “Out of the periphery of my eye, I just saw a body flying, flying through the air.

“People started waving their hands, anything they could find. They were shouting to the man in the tracks, “Get out! Get out of there!’ ”

Han barely missed the third rail, cops said, and looked stunned as he sat up in the track bed as the train approached before scrambling to his feet.

At one point, Han stood in the tracks and looked directly at the oncoming train lights.

What a tragedy.

I live and work downtown, so I see homeless on a daily basis, and most of them seem to have some sort of mental illness. I learned a long time ago not to engage them in any argument or decision, cuz they ain't playing with a full deck, not to mention have nothing to lose.

He could have helped him up, there's no motion blur on his pic, that muthafukka stopped and took a pic.

I always have my back to something now or stand back from the tracks. It seems like every week someone in getting pushed on the tracks.


They need to do something about the homeless in the city...

Yes he was an free lance photographer so he probably had a DSLR with zoom lets. takes less than a split second to zoom all the way.

I wanna know is why did the guy climb out. Seemed like he had a decent amount of time

Oh yeah.
Also, I never hang out near the edge of a subway platform for the same reason. Crazy dude just walked up to a person and pushed him off the platform for no reason. Zero confrontation or provocation. It's like I stand as far away such that if I were shoved, I would not be near the edge but just hit the ground.
