New York woman pushes commuter on moving subway train in Times Square in cheeky attack on camera

A disturbing video released by the New York Police Department on Monday shows a woman rising from a bench and pushing another woman into a moving subway train entering a Times Square station during the commute during the morning rush hour in what is believed to be an unprovoked attack.

The suspect, who police describe as a woman in her 30s wearing a multi-colored scarf, black shirt and tan pants, is seen standing up from a bench inside 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue station and suddenly pushing past a 42 year old woman, who is off camera.

Video shows this happened as a northbound No.1 train was speeding through the station. The attacker then seems to move away calmly, because several other passers-by on the platform seem relatively unaffected. Police said the 42-year-old did not fall onto the tracks, but the force of the push had thrown her onto the moving train before she ricocheted back onto the platform.

She was taken to a nearby hospital with facial injuries which police say are serious but not life threatening, PIX 11 reported.

Detectives scoured the area and interviewed witnesses, but the unidentified suspect was not found on Monday. NYPD Crime Stoppers asks anyone with information to call 1-800-577-TIPS.

The same NYPD agents who responded to the stampede incident were back at work hours later, exploring both the street and the basement after reports of gunfire at the same transit center , WNBC reported. A man in his 30s appears to have been shot in the leg on a platform heading south.
