A man was shoved to the tracks in an unprovoked attack in Crown Heights on Sunday, police sources said.
The 66-year-old victim was waiting for a Manhattan-bound No. 2 train at the President Street–Medgar Evers College station near Nostrand Avenue when a man pushed him off the platform around 3 p.m., cops said.
The victim did not come into contact with a train or the electrified third rail, but suffered minor injuries when he fell to the trackbed. He was taken to New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in stable condition.
The victim and his attacker don’t know each other, sources said.
Police were still searching for the culprit Sunday afternoon.
Was the person who was shoved a Jew?
No one should have their life in danger. If this happens to one person it can happen to anyone.
We would still like to know if this was yet another attack on someone from our community. Contrary to your assumption, that does not preclude our having feelings on behalf of whoever was attacked.
No. I was at the station when they transported him on a stretcher… gotta be vigilant when you ride the subway.
And what if he wasn’t?
When you hear about an attack, your first question is if any of your relatives were hurt. Basics.
And the last to attack anyone. In response to what appears to be your virtue signaling attack: Despite your wish to portray us as otherwise, we do care about humanity in general. We also have a right to know if he was Jewish. Many people here are connected as close friends or relatives and, like most normal people, are immediately anxious to know if it was someone close to home. Especially after all the targeted attacks on our community. And I’m guessing your name is not Mendel.
You are guessing wrong, my name is Mendel and I live in CH.
that he was not a Yid. Ch’av another attack.
