Two female tourists from Mexico were violently shoved onto train tracks by a random woman at a Manhattan subway station early Monday, the NYPD and sources said.
The victims, ages 28 and 27, were pushed off the northbound F platform at the Delancey Street/Essex Street station on the Lower East Side just after 2:15 a.m., according to cops.
The women had been waiting for the train when the suspect suddenly approached and shoved one of them onto the tracks in an unprovoked attack, police said.

What did the mayor of London say? That’s the price you pay to live in a big city?
The pushers are likely from the New York City department of tourism and giving the pushees the real experience of New York City.
Yep, ‘Part and Parcel’ all that

Now they are called tourists instead of illegal aliens?
Since he hurt illegal alien “tourists”, they’ll probably throw the book at him.
Well, they were on the subway at 2:15 a.m. That’s insane, right there. No one goes on the subway at that hour unless you’re looking for trouble.
Public transportation!
I’ll keep my cars.
You city people can live or die with your political
choices.
Note to self: immediately cancel planned end of summer august “subway tour” of NYC.
It used to be that you had to worry about crime going to Mexico for vacation. I guess we’re doing our part to catch up.
Nothing good is going to happen at 2:15 am. That’s asking to be robbed or worse.
There are tourists from Mexico. Do we have any idea about the identity of the murderer?
Em… 2:30
AM?
In my stoopidest days in high school cutting school with my schoolmates a bunch of beer drinking girls, at 16 years old I wouldn’t dream of walking down the stairs to a subway platform at 2:30 AM
In fact when I lived there and got the older cousin briefing the subway was off limits after 9:30 PM
Geeze
This is good to know.
I grew up in NYC, and in my day it was safe to take the subway at any hour, day or night. Then RINO John Vliet Lindsay happened. People working night shift in hospitals or utilities depended on the subway. Partiers coming home from an evening of celebration.
The world has changed, and in many ways not at all for the better.
During the Giuliani/Bloomberg years, when visiting NYC, I sometimes rode the subway at 3 a.m. and felt perfectly safe.
I used to live in Manhattan in the late 1990s and would come home from work at 1 or 2 AM. It was safe, even around Times Square and 8th Ave (which was bad back then). The funny part was that I’d see the prostitutes and cops on the same block as I walked. I never was threatened, even though I was wearing a suit and walking alone at 2 AM. But times sure have changed.
