ganeshran Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-20856644 US police are searching for a woman alleged to have pushed a passenger in front of an oncoming train in New York. Eyewitnesses said the man was standing on a platform at the subway station in Queens when a woman rose from a bench and shoved him onto the tracks. In December, a homeless man was charged with murder for pushing a passenger to his death in the Times Square subway. The incident caused an outcry after a tabloid published a photo showing the victim moments away from being struck. On Friday, police identified the victim as 46-year-old Sunando Sen, originally from India and a resident of Queens. Investigators identified Sen through a smart phone and a prescription pill bottle he was carrying. No surveillance footage Thursday's incident took place at the 40th Street-Lowery Street subway station near Queens Boulevard in the Sunnyside neighbourhood of the borough of Queens in New York City. Witnesses said that moments before the attack the female assailant was talking to herself while walking up and down the platform, before eventually sitting down on a bench. Naeem Davis faces murder charges for allegedly pushing a man in front of a train in early December As the train approached, the suspect rose from her seat and pushed Sen, who stood with his back to her, onto the tracks, Deputy Commissioner Paul Brown said in a statement. The man's body was pinned under the front of a carriage as the train came to a halt. The woman then fled the scene. It is unclear whether she knew her victim. Police released a grainy, black-and-white video of a woman thought to be the assailant running down Queens Boulevard. She was described by police as Hispanic, in her 20s, and "heavy-set". They said she was approximately 5ft 5in (165cm) tall with blonde or brown hair, and was wearing a blue, white and grey ski jacket and Nike trainers. In the last fatal subway push, on 3 December, Ki-Suck Han was shoved by Naeem Davis onto the track at 49th Street station near Times Square. Freelance photographer R Umar Abbasi, who had been waiting on the platform, was criticised for taking pictures of the victim instead of trying to help. Mr Abbasi said he was trying to get the train driver's attention with his camera flash. The New York Post tabloid also came under fire over its decision to publish the image.

anotherhawkeye Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 World is going crazy! The end is nigh.
The Outsider Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 I've always wondered what would happen if some psycho gang started pushing people on subway tracks while traveling frequently in NYC. While these are probably isolated crimes, just goes to show how fragile life is if someone is hell bent on killing you.

They have to drag me, not just push. I ain't dying soon.

Alchemist Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 A 31-year-old Bronx woman has been charged with second-degree murder as a hate crime in the death of a man shoved in front of a subway train, Queens prosecutors said Saturday. District Attorney Richard A. Brown identified the woman as Erika Menendez. She was awaiting arraignment. "(She) said in sum and substance 'I pushed a Muslim off the train tracks because I hate Hindus and Muslims ever since 2001 when they put down the twin towers I've been beating them up,'" the prosecutor said in a statement. Witnesses said a woman paced the platform and talked to herself Thursday evening shortly before pushing the man as the 11-car train entered the station. The 46-year-old man's body was pinned under the second car after it came to a stop. The woman made "statements implicating herself in the death of Sunando Sen," Paul Browne, the New York Police Department's chief spokesman, said earlier. Security video showed a person running from the scene. Menendez was identified Saturday afternoon in a lineup, Browne said. She was recognized earlier in the day on a street in Brooklyn by a passer-by who called 911, the police spokesman said. The caller said she resembled the woman in the video. "The defendant is accused of committing what is every subway commuter's worst nightmare -- being suddenly and senselessly pushed into the path of an oncoming train," said Brown, the district attorney. "The victim was allegedly shoved from behind and had no chance to defend himself. Beyond that, the hateful remarks allegedly made by the defendant and which precipitated the defendant's actions can never be tolerated by a civilized society." It was not clear Saturday evening whether Menendez had obtained an attorney. Sen, of Queens, owned a shop called New Amsterdam Copies and was a graphic designer for posters, said Ar Suman, Sen's roommate. In early December, Ki-Suck Han, 58, was shoved onto the tracks in a Times Square station as a train approached. Naeem Davis, 30, a homeless man, has been charged with second-degree murder in that case.
Tiger80 Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Americans are quite racist and least tolerant people.Yet what surprises me that Indians hardly say anything bad about America ,but whenever a crime is committed in India then India is garbage , **** etc Indians should ashamed etc

There may be few crazy people here and there, but when they harm anyone, swift justice is served. I doubt any Indian NRI thinks that US is an utopian society. However, it's better than what Indian media makes it out to be.

There are American racists but at least Americans accept that racism is wrong, unlike our Indian society which is yet to accept that casteism is wrong and continues to do caste based discrimination. Americans are also less sexist than Indians. Saala is an abuse in India, but brother in law is not an abuse in USA. Just imagine, a proper relation becomes an abuse only because marrying the girl is seen as a victory over her family. There is public database of sexual offenders, child rapists are not spared, honour killing doesnt happen, while we in India are yet to frame special laws for child rapists. America is not utopia, but India has a long way to go before matching their laws and justice.

Desi Cartman Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 What an idiot, she doesnt even know the hindus and muslims are different religions. Not saying that she should be pushing muslims either but she seems like an idiot who is trying to justify this murder by using the twin tower attack. Ullu ki pathi, if she was so stressed then she herself should have jumped instead
