A good Samaritan died on New Year's Day while trying to help a man who fell onto subway tracks during a gang assault in New York City.
At around 2:40 a.m., the assault victim -- a 38-year-old male -- was approached by several individuals on the southbound B/D train platform in the Fordham Road subway station in the Bronx, the New York City Police Department said in a statement.
The gang "displayed a knife and began assaulting him" and at some point the assault victim fell onto the subway tracks, according to police. It is unclear if he fell or if he was pushed.
