Man heading to Chinatown killed by New York subway train after push by stranger
Wife sees seemingly unprovoked attack as couple headed to New York's Chinatown
A 61-year-old man was killed when he was pushed onto the tracks of New York's subway system in front of an oncoming train.
The incident took place on Sunday in the Bronx, where the victim, Wai Kuen Kwok, was waiting for the D train, at the 167th Street stop, with his wife. The couple were headed to Chinatown in lower Manhattan.
The assailant pushed the man from the platform just as a train arrived in the station, shortly before 9am, as his horrified wife watched helplessly.
The two men did not appear to know each other and had not argued, witnesses said.
Police released a video of the suspected killer, who left the scene by bus. On the video, the man wearing a black jacket over a dark T-shirt gets off the bus, goes into a store, and emerges to smoke a cigarette as he ambles away.
A reward of US$2,000 was offered for any information that could help the investigation.
