Police tell News 12 that a 52-year-old man waiting
for the L train at the Bushwick Avenue station was approached by a man who
demanded everything he had. When he declined to turn over his belongings, the
situation became physical and the 52-year-old was shoved onto the subway tracks.
There was no oncoming train, and emergency workers
promptly removed the man from the tracks. The victim was brought to the
hospital where he was treated for a cut on his head and a broken leg.
Police are looking for the suspect, and were able to
get a photo of him. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime
Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
