A woman lost both her feet after her boyfriend allegedly pushed her onto the subway tracks — where she was struck by a train in Manhattan, police sources said.

The victim, 29, was not immediately identified.

The southbound 3 train was pulling into the Fulton Street Station at Chambers Street Saturday at 10:25 a.m. when it hit her, severing her feet, cops said. “They were arguing and he pushed her,” a police source said.

Someone who rides a subway. When they are full the riders stand up and hang on to poles and straps

That’s horrible.

Prayers up for the victim and God bless the man who stayed with her until the first responders got there. Good to see that there are still some caring people out there, even though their numbers seem to be diminishing.

Yeah I have Mennonite ppl in my family and have never seen them use horse and buggy, they own and use cars; their tech restrictions are more severe than I would expect most are,accustomed to. The Amish in my former area tend to be very severe in their rejection of modernity but some do use cell bones for work when they are actually away from home.

When we went to the Delano farmer’s market a couple of years ago, we were told they were Amish as well as Mennonite. So when we went to pay for our goods, we told them we were from central Indiana, and the young man mentioned that he knew there was a large group of Amish near here. They live about 30 minutes from us in one direction (west) and we are a couple of hours from a large community in Shipshewana (northeast of us) near Lake Michigan.

They are a pleasant and very kind, smart, as well as talented group of folks.

Nothing like socializing in the Tennessee hill country.

Sounds nice. Never been there. My wife’s sister lives there, we may visit someday. She’s Chinese, got married here in SF Bay Area and moved there with her husband. He brought me a large jar of locally made moonshine whiskey when visiting us but I never tried it. Sounds nice being away from the hectic city life.

Our Mennonites call themselves “Old Order Mennonites”. There is one family in Englewood that we have known for almost 30 years. The group in Delano split and part moved to Englewood. My husband asked him once if they were Amish or Mennonite. He smiled and said, “we are Mennonite but everybody calls us Amish, so we just smile and go along”. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a mixed community of both. He said the best way to tell them apart are the beards and mustaches. LOL Before he joined the Mennonite community, he was an electrical engineer in the English world.

The difference might be that our Mennonites are Old Order Mennonites. They behave more like Amish but will use modern things if necessary.

Thanks! I don’t know how that would work for me. I’m not claustrophobic but I have panic attacks in crowds.

I think that explanation is a good one. They smile and go along, so no one knows any differently.
