83-year-old veteran randomly shoved onto NYC subway tracks dies from injuries, illegal migrant charged with murder
NY Post
The 83-year-old US Air Force veteran who was randomly shoved onto the subway tracks by an illegal migrant on the Upper East Side has died from his injuries — and his alleged killer has been charged with murder.
Grandfather Richard Williams succumbed to his injuries March 17 after he was allegedly pushed onto the tracks with another man while waiting for a train at the Lexington Avenue-63rd Station just before noon March 8, authorities and sources said.
His alleged attacker, Honduran national Bairon Hernandez, 34, was arrested March 10 at a homeless shelter — and his charges have been upgraded to second-degree murder following Williams’ death, court records show.
Prosecutors had said Williams was “brain-dead,” and Williams’ daughter, Debbie Williams, told The Post days after the attack her father was not likely to pull through.
The medical examiner declared his death a homicide.
John Pena, 30, was also shoved onto the tracks by Hernandez but ignored his own injuries and heroically helped pull Williams back onto the platform moments before a train rolled into the station.
