The man who pushed an Edmonton hospital worker onto LRT tracks last year will spend another 80 days in custody.
Kendall Raine, 21, was sentenced to 22 months on Tuesday after he pleaded guilty to attacking Sharda Naidu Devi.
Raine pushed the then 78-year-old onto the tracks at Health Sciences/Jubilee LRT station on April 25, 2022.
An oncoming train was stopped by the operator before hitting Devi, but she was so severely injured that her family worried her leg might have to be amputated.
She has since filed a lawsuit against the city and the Edmonton Transit Service.
During Raine's trial in December, prosecutors told the court he attacked Devi because she was looking at him and "pissing him off."
Raine pleaded guilty to aggravated assault.
