A video recently surfaced online showing a man shoving a woman onto some subway tracks in China. Fortunately, the woman, who suffered minor injuries, managed to get off of the tracks before a train came. Following the unprovoked attack, several police officers were called to the scene. After rushing over, they then searched for the suspect, who they soon found still near the subway station, and promptly took him into custody.

Specifically, a 56-year-old man from Southeast Asia was arrested in Hong Kong earlier this month and charged with “assault occasioning bodily harm” after he, for no apparent reason, pushed a 59-year-old female rail-worker off of a subway platform and onto the tracks below. Fortunately, the entire assault was captured on video, which should make it easier for prosecutors to later convict him.

At the start of the video, the victim, who’s wearing a reflective jacket to indicate that she’s an employee at the station, can be seen walking along the edge of platform No. 5 at the Yuen Long terminal for the Light Rail’s 761P route. She’s completely oblivious to the massive brute, who was wearing lightly colored baseball hat and a blue t-shirt, creeping up behind her. After several seconds, she pauses and waves at someone off in the distance.

She then places her hands behind her back and begins waiting patiently for the next train to arrive. At that moment, however, the suspect walks up to her and, using only one arm, casually pushes her from the platform, causing her to fall face first onto the tracks. After shoving the unsuspecting woman, the man then proceeds to nonchalantly walk away as if nothing happened while concerned bystanders stare in disbelief.

Shortly after the assault took place, the local police were called to the scene. After arriving, they did a quick search of the area and located the suspect nearby. Upon finding him, they then placed him in handcuffs and took him into custody.

Thankfully, there weren’t any trains coming along that track when the woman was pushed from the platform, making it possible for the woman to escape with her life. “[She] suffered injuries to her jaw and was sent to Pok Oi Hospital for treatment,” explained an officer familiar with the incident.

Sadly, it’s not uncommon for someone to be pushed onto the tracks while waiting for the subway. For example, earlier this month, Keira Keeley’s, a 35-year-old actress who has starred in off-Broadway shows and played bit parts on TV, was taken into custody after she tried pushing a random stranger, who was later identified as Leonore Gonzalez, a 57-year-old woman from the Bronx in New York City, into an oncoming train at Union Station that was approaching the platform where the two of them were standing.

Luckily, Gonzalez was able to grab onto a nearby pillar to avoid falling onto the tracks as the train arrived. Despite this, she still suffered a bruise on her right elbow and wrist, as well as back pain, after the push. Following the assault, Keeley was arrested and charged with “attempted assault with intent to injure [using] a weapon.” Her bail, which was set at $7,500, has since been posted.

Unsurprisingly, while in custody, Keeley denied trying to intentionally push Gonzalez into the train. According to her, it was an accident. Specifically, she claimed that what actually happened was that she inadvertently bumped into Gonzalez after feeling “wiggly” from drinking several glasses of wine while out “boozing” with her boyfriend. Hopefully, in court, the judge will be able to get to the truth.

Pushing someone from a subway platform is absolutely reprehensible. Anyone caught doing so should be punished as harshly as possible to deter others from engaging in similar behavior in the future. Hopefully, if someone does end up getting pushed onto the tracks, or attacked in any way, there are good Samaritans nearby to help.
