Police now seek witnesses after video links the attack to earlier threats.

Overview

  • The incident occurred on August 13 at about 21:35, when a 63-year-old was pushed down several flights of stairs at Pasing station after exiting an S6 train.
  • The victim sustained a wrist contusion and abrasions to his knee and elbow as the assailant continued to attack him on the steps.
