2 Women Pushed Onto Train Tracks at NYC Subway Station: NYPD

NEW YORK CITY — Two women were pushed onto the train tracks by another woman in an unprovoked attack at a Manhattan subway station early Monday morning, police said.

The two women were waiting for a northbound F train at the Delancey Street/Essex Street station around 2:15 a.m. when an unknown woman came up and pushed them onto the tracks, police said.

The two women were taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue for minor injuries.

The suspect was taken into custody by officers assigned to the station, police said.

A motive into the incident has not been determined and charges against the suspect are pending, police said.

In the past year, the city has seen an uptick in subway pushing incidents. The city had hoped to curb the issue with the installation of safety doors at some subway stations.

In March, a woman lost her feet after her boyfriend allegedly pushed her onto the subway tracks in the West Village.
