Suspect Sabir Jones Sought After Woman Pushed Into NYC Subway Train

A 30-year-old woman was in critical condition Wednesday after being shoved into a moving train at a New York City subway station, local authorities said. The woman was pushed against a departing train by a man who witnesses said was mumbling to himself, according to the New York Police Department. It is believed to have been a random attack. The victim’s head struck the train and she fell onto the tracks, with “good Samaritans” pulling her back onto the platform, police said. Law enforcement was still searching for the suspect, identified as Sabir Jones, 39, on Wednesday night. He is “known to the department,” a police spokesperson said, according to The New York Times, which reported that officials described Jones to be emotionally disturbed. The shove marks the 15th such incident of the year through Oct. 15, according to the Times.
