Platform shoves have riders on edge
Platform shoves have become a recurring safety concern this year. CBS New York reported earlier that there had been nine subway push incidents as of March, compared with 19 in all of the previous year. Local reporting has shown how quickly one shove can maim or kill, including coverage of a March 8 attack at Lexington Avenue–63rd Street that left an 83-year-old rider fighting for his life.
In this latest case, investigators are asking anyone who was on a northbound 6 train near 110th Street around 12:55 a.m. Monday to check their phones for photos or video from the station and to come forward with any details. Tips can be submitted anonymously and may qualify for the posted reward. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or sending a direct message to @NYPDTips on X.
