New York pushes Asians off the platform to kill murderers who have been ordered to be detained without bail

According to a comprehensive report by the US Chinese Network, the suspect in the New York Subway Pushing Case passed through the court on Wednesday (19th), and he was ordered to be detained without bail.

Simon, 61, pushed a 40-year-old Asian woman off the platform at the Times Square subway station last Saturday (15th), causing her to die, and was charged with second-degree murder, and he has been detained in New York's Yomivi Hospital ever since.

Prosecutors said the victim was on her way to work and was looking down at her phone while waiting for the subway when the train came in and Simon thrust her from behind with both hands, causing her to be hit by the train and rolled to death.

According to reports, Simon has committed two violent felonies and been convicted, two attempted robberies in 1999 and 2019. Before he was arrested for the fatal attack on the 16th, he had already carried an arrest warrant on the grounds that he had violated parole regulations.

Carrell, an assistant prosecutor in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, said Simon confessed to his crimes in all three trials. In addition, surveillance footage showed him at the scene and a witness confirmed his identity, she said.

Karel and New York City Police Chief Keechant Sewell said the attack was considered random. But because the victims are Of Asian descent, prosecutors are still investigating to determine whether the incident was motivated by racial bias.

Simon told reporters present after his arrest that he did so because he was "God." His family told The New York Post that Simon had mental problems and was diagnosed with schizophrenia more than 20 years ago.

New York Mayor Adams said on the 19th that although the death of the Asian woman shocked "the whole city", the incident highlighted the need to solve the mental health crisis in New York City.

"We have to do better in dealing with people who are causing social disruption and who seem to have real mental health problems, we have to do better by giving them the services they need, rather than keeping them in the system," Adams said. ”

On Wednesday (19th), prosecutors recommended that Simon be sent back to prison because he had a history of not complying with the parole clause after his previous conviction. Manhattan Court Judge McDonnell granted the request, ordering him to be detained without bail, while also ordering him a mental health check.

The next trial is set for Feb. 23.
