A terrifying scene when the New York subway train enters the station! An Asian woman was pushed off the track and killed

【Global Network Report】There was a "horror" scene in the Subway Station in New York, USA. According to the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) and other US media reports, a 40-year-old Asian woman was pushed off the track by a man at the Times Square subway station in New York on the morning of January 15, local time, and the train was entering the station at the time of the incident, and the woman was hit and killed on the spot.

The woman was violently attacked by a man at about 9:40 a.m. on the 15th and pushed off the tracks, and passengers called the police after the woman fell into the tracks.

Police later confirmed that the suspect was a 61-year-old male, Simon Martial. Police said he initially targeted another woman on the platform but eventually shifted the target and attacked the 40-year-old Asian-American victim. At a news conference held by New York City officials that afternoon, police said there did not appear to be any interaction between the victim and the attacker before the incident, which was an "unprovoked" attack.

The New York Police Chief said the suspect turned himself in to police after the incident and has now been charged with murder in connection with the attack. Sources said that the suspect had a criminal history and had been arrested several times.

There have been several attacks against Asians in a week, with New York State Sen. John Liu saying that "it's 2022 and Asians across New York and the United States are still regularly subjected to heartless, hate-filled attacks." ”

Anti-Asian hate crimes in New York City reportedly increased significantly last year, with police data showing a 361 percent increase in incidents against Asians by December 2021.
