A man is in police custody after he allegedly shoved a woman onto train tracks in front of an oncoming New York City Subway train Saturday morning, officials said Saturday. The victim, a 40-year-old Asian woman, was pronounced dead at the scene.
"This was a senseless, absolutely senseless act of violence," New York City police commissioner Keechant Sewell said Saturday at a press conference.
At around 9:40 a.m., transit police officers responded to reports that someone had pushed another person onto train tracks at the 42nd Street Times Square subway station, Sewell said. Officers found a woman underneath a train with "severe trauma to her body," Sewell said. The woman, who has not yet been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.
