Murder at Manhattan subway station comes just hours after NYPD launches “Operation Fare Play” to allegedly crack down on transit crime
A suspect with a lengthy criminal record has been charged with murder after allegedly shoving a man off a subway platform into the path of a train in New York City this week, according to reports.
The shocking incident unfolded just before 7 p.m. on Monday evening in Manhattan.
A man was thrown in front of an oncoming train in a “unprovoked attack” at the busy 125th Street station in East Harlem.
The train was unable to stop and the victim, later identified as a 54-year-old resident of the Bronx, was struck and killed.
New York police later arrested Carlton McPherson, a 24-year-old male from the Bronx who has been arrested multiple times in the past and has a “history of mental illness,” according to officials.
“He was released without bail after he was arraigned on an October 31 arrest for assault, menacing, harassment and other charges in Brooklyn,” ABC 7 reports.
“He failed to show up for court twice and a judge issued a warrant for his arrest. He was picked up and brought to court on Jan. 11, where bail was set for $2,000 — which he posted. His next court date was set for July.”
McPherson can be seen grinning in photographs taken during his arrest by the New York Post, which described him as a “career criminal.”
The fatal attack came just hours after the New York Police Department launched “Operation Fare Play,” an alleged effort to crack down on crime in the subway via extra patrols, random searches, and increased monitoring.
