a black man? this cannot be.
First five months of 2022 see four homicides on board the subway
I'm sure Eric Adams has a solution for this: More resources to crack-down on White Supremacists and more gun control.
You are getting what you voted for, New York - as if Eric Adams were an improvement over DeBlasio:
Everyone thought Eric Adams would be the solution to their problems, but it turns out he’s just another cog in the Media-Dem Party’s trouble-making machine.
Where’s Bernard Goetz when you need him?
A gun made him do it.
Black Lives Matter
Was she Asian? And no, you don’t need to look for the perpetrator....
When are we going to ban those damn assault subway trains?!
I have always wondered why there isn’t a type of barrier that is up except when boarding and detraining (as in deplaning).
Having no barrier is dangerous even without the crazy lunatics that throw people on the tracks.
Yes, they have to arrest him right away so that he can be promptly released on his own recognizance.

Melrose, the Bronx (PIX11)– A man with a long rap sheet was arrested for throwing a woman onto the subway tracks in the Bronx Sunday, authorities said. Theodore Ellis, 30, was nabbed Tuesday and charged with second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, and misdemeanor assault, according to an NYPD spokesman.
Ellis allegedly pushed the 52-year-old woman onto the southbound tracks of the Westchester Avenue – Jackson Avenue subway station at around 4:30 p.m., video of the incident showed.
Police told PIX11 News the attack was unprovoked. The victim suffered a broken collarbone and cuts to her head and was taken to a hospital, where officials said she was in stable condition.
The suspect, a Bronx resident, has a long list of prior arrests for charges ranging from assault to larceny, police said.
LONGWOOD, The Bronx (WABC) -- Police have arrested a man in connection with the Bronx subway shoving that left a 52-year-old woman with a broken collarbone. .
Theodore Ellis, 31, is in custody for allegedly throwing the woman onto the subway tracks at the Westchester Avenue/Jackson Avenue subway station in the Longwood section of the Bronx. .
Ellis reportedly told police he was drunk at the time of the incident and "didn't realize his strength" when he tossed the woman off the platform. .
The horrifying incident happened around 4:40 p.m. Sunday and was all was caught on camera, and police said Ellis doesn't remember what the woman said to him prior to the alleged crime. .
There was no train coming, and others at the station helped her get back onto the platform. In addition to a broken collarbone, the woman suffered cuts all over her body, but she is expected to be OK. She was taken to Lincoln Hospital and treated for her injuries. .
The incident is the latest in high-profile crimes in the city's transit system, where a bus driver was stabbed and slashed by a passenger early Tuesday. "We are looking at all ways we can to make people feel -- and actually be -- safer than they are right now, than they feel right now," Governor Kathy Hochul said. "We are looking at all options. I have these conversations with the leadership of the MTA to talk about, are we doing everything we humanly can in a smart way, in a way that will actually work, to protect New Yorkers on the subways? These are part of our ongoing conversations.".
The MTA has talked about testing barriers to prevent subway shoves, but that's next to impossible at elevated platforms like the one where this incident took place. "It don't feel safe at all here," straphanger Wali Deshawn said. "Because people getting hurt, injured, doing stuff like this. It's just crazy. ".
The governor asked about metal detectors on the subway, but in this case, the suspect wasn't armed.
Both NYPD and MTA officials say the victim in the attack has been uncooperative, both with police and hospital staff, refusing to tell them what happened or if she knows the suspect.
Police say she has more than 30 prior arrests, many of them drug related.
Hate crime ? I read the victim was not cooperating with police ?
