A white male can be seen grabbing a black male near a large pillar and apparently demanding his property be returned to him.
“Give me my f**king lighter, bro,” the white male can be heard saying.
Suddenly, the black male punches the other man twice, causing him to lose his balance and fall backwards off the platform.
An arriving train was unable to stop in time and the victim was struck as commuters watched in shock.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, and the suspect was apprehended blocks away but it is unclear if he will face charges.
Observers on social media are divided about whether the man’s death was the result of an accident or a crime.
An investigation is ongoing.
