A woman died after she was pushed onto the New York City subway tracks and hit by an oncoming train, officials said.
A woman died after she was pushed onto the New York City subway tracks and struck by an oncoming train, police said.
The incident occurred around 9:30 a.m. Saturday at the Times Square-42nd Street subway station while she was standing on the southbound R-Q train platform.
A man "suddenly pushed" the victim while she was waiting -- an unprovoked attack -- New York Police Department Commissioner Keechant Sewell said during a press briefing Saturday, calling the attack an "absolute senseless act of violence."
Police found the woman under the train with "severe trauma" to her body and she was pronounced dead at the scene, Sewell added.
