Overview
- A 47-year-old man was pushed head-first toward an arriving Manhattan-bound D train at the Fordham Road/Grand Concourse station on June 27 and struck the moving car.
- The victim, who later told reporters his name is Josue, was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital with facial injuries and a concussion and was listed in stable condition.
- Blurry surveillance footage and stills show a lanky male wearing a white tank top and dark pants pacing in a crowded car and briefly lighting what appears to be a cigarette or joint.
- The NYPD has publicized the images and is asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers as the suspect remains at large and the investigation continues.
- The case has heightened concerns about subway safety because citywide subway felony assaults rose even as overall major crime on the rails edged down, and the victim says the attack has left him fearful of returning to the station.
