A man is dead after being shoved in front of a subway train in Queens.
Police say it happened around 8 p.m. Thursday on the 7 train platform at the
40th Street station.
They say a woman pushed the victim.
Five witnesses told police the woman had been following the man and mumbling.
She then sat on a wooden bench alone and then, as the 7 train approached,
she approached the man and pushed him onto the tracks, according to police.
Police say the man was struck by the first of the 11-car train and his body
pinned under the front of the second car as the train came to a stop.
He has not yet been identified due to the extent of his injuries.
According to police, the suspect fled the platform down two separate
staircases.
"It was horrible," said one man at the scene. "It echoed through the bottom,
and I never want to hear something like that again."
"I can't believe these things happen in this neighborhood," said a woman at
the scene. "This was a safe neighborhood."
"I think it's crazy. It really is," said another man at the scene. "And what
needs to be done, this has happened twice this month, they need to slow the
trains down to about 15 miles an hour when they are coming into the station
, so if something like that does happen, they have time to stop the train.
When I heard it, I couldn't believe it."
Police are searching for the woman, who was described as in her 20s, 5 feet
5 inches, heavyset, with brown or blond hair. Witnesses said she was wearing
a blue, white and gray ski jacket and Nike sneakers that were gray on top
and red on the bottom.
It's the second time this month a man was pushed to his death.
Ki-Suck Han was killed after being shoved onto the tracks in Times Square by
a man he had been arguing with.
