The deranged man who allegedly shoved a straphanger to his death timed it perfectly with an oncoming train and pushed with all his might, a witness to the terrifying, random attack said Tuesday. Carlton McPherson, 24, got off an uptown train at the East 125th Street and Lexington Avenue station Monday and stood on the platform for just a matter of minutes before allegedly lunging at his victim, according to the witness and a source familiar with the case. He like timed it perfectly, witness Andriel Recio, 28, told The Post. He was walking scoping out the area, looking back and forth everywhere, Recio recalled. And as the train was approaching, he just snuck behind the guy and just cocked back and pushed him with, like, all his might. The guy just like, flew onto the tracks, Recio said of the victim.
yeah but you'd still have to be right near the line for that to happen. even a full body shove isn't going to launch someone much more than 5 feet.
obviously not victim blaming, just saying why I get nowhere near the train until it's stopped. if it's busy enough people would want to be close though.
