The subway 'pusher' accused of shoving a victim to their death in front of a train on Monday night has been identified.

Carlton McPherson, 24, allegedly shoved a 45-year-old man onto the tracks at the 125th Street station at Lexington Avenue in East Harlem as a 4 train approached around 7pm.

According to authorities, the attack was unprovoked and the victim has not yet been identified.

McPherson has a lengthy criminal history and was arrested at the age of 16. He also has a history of mental illness.

He was arrested in October 2023 for assault but was freed on bond and is expected back in court on that charge in July, sources told the New York Post.

The victim was pushed on the uptown platform in front of a train that was unable to stop, according to a police spokeswoman.

Number 5 trains in both directions were severely delayed following the attack, according to the MTA. Normal service to the station resumed by 9pm.

A large number of officers were present at the scene along with a number of shocked New Yorkers standing on the platform as word spread about a man underneath the train.

'I felt like a pit in my stomach when I heard it, and just felt really sad for the person that it happened to,' Brendan Daniel told Pix 11.

The horrifying incident unfolded hours after NYPD Transit leaders made a public safety announcement about the 'continued commitment' they have made 'toward public safety' in the community.

I think the perp was going for the Mike Tyson look with that mugshot.

There is a 90% chance you know much about the victim. White or Asian.

At least belongs in an insane asylum for life. Oh, right, I forgot, we don’t have those anymore since ADA decreed everyone equal and we have to accomodate them all.

I don't know. Maybe it's just me.
I would figure that Rail Stations could be engineered to prevent such incidents
by installing barriers that would only open when the train has stopped
in position to allow egress and access to the cars.

At least they didn’t put him in one of those awful asylums.

I have often wondered the same thing. Why haven’t they modernized the layout to accommodate impulsive nutballs like this one? It could provide a somewhat simple solution without going too far overbudget.

These feral, sh*t flinging chimps always seem to have the silliest, most staged, perp shots. He thinks he looks scary — instead, he looks like he needs more fiber. He’ll be making this face a lot in prison, you know... when he’s someone’s special little girl.
