A woman was pushed yesterday by another passenger from a New York Subway platform at an air station on the 7 line in Queens.
The incident occurred around 1 p.m. Wednesday at the 90th street station. Miraculously, the unidentified victim did not make contact with a train or the electric rail and therefore the train service was not disturbed.
The woman was taken to Elmhurst Hospital with an arm injury. The suspect fled the scene. He was described as a male approximately 5’7″ tall wearing a gray shirt and blue jeans. No further details were available at the time, he reported ABC News.

These types of incidents have become common on the New York Subway. In late July, a 14-year-old boy was pushed onto the rails at a Brooklyn station by a man and miraculously escaped being hit by a train. Apparently the assailant was upset because the minor accidentally tripped him when they disembarked from an L line car at the Bedford Avenue stop.
Since taking office in January 2022, the Mayor Eric Adams, former NYPD, announced several times that the number of NYPD officers in the underground system would double in a strengthened security plan to deal with violence in the chaotic NYC Subway. But until now the fatalities have continued.
Earlier this month, three people died on the same day on the subway tracks at stations in Manhattan. Also on the same day in May, a 30-year-old man was strangled to death in the middle of an argument aboard a train in the middle of the afternoon in Lower Manhattan. Hours later another passenger was stabbed in Queens.
In addition to the crime and violence, at least seven teenage “surfers” have died and others have been seriously injured this year on the NYC Subway, climbing on the roof or traveling between cars, apparently motivated by challenges that have gone viral on the networks. social. A record 928 people were caught riding outside New York Subway cars in 2022, more than four times than in the previous two years.
