NY Post
A maniac allegedly pushed a woman onto the subway tracks and punched another lady in the face in Brooklyn Saturday — and was later arrested at a nearby shelter, police and sources said.
A 51-year-old was shoved and a 43-year-old was hit on the R subway line at 53rd Street and Fourth Avenue in Sunset Park around 8:45 a.m., according to cops.
The woman pushed to the tracks suffered three broken ribs and the other sustained a busted lip, police sources said.
Curtis Signal was busted at the shelter and charged with reckless endangerment, assault, and harassment, police said.
“The guy was sitting on the platform and they were standing,” Vietnam veteran Al Rivera told The Post. “All of a sudden he pushed her on the tracks and then he turned around and pounced on the other lady. He was hitting her, punching her in the face.”
A man and a woman told the lady who was on the tracks to put up her hands and pulled her to the platform, the sources said.
