Terrifying video shows man throwing woman onto New York City subway tracks

Police said Monday that a man threw a woman onto the subway tracks over the weekend.

According to video posted by the NYPD, the attack unfolded on elevated tracks at the Jackson Avenue Station in the Bronx.

A man in a white tank top, shorts, backward baseball cap and backpack appeared to grab a woman before throwing her onto the tracks.

Police said the woman was in stable condition at the hospital. No one was arrested as of Tuesday morning.

Mayor Eric Adams made public safety a focal point of his campaign last year and has seen a rise in violence on the subway.

There have been a number of violent incidents on the New York city rail lines.

• Daniel Enriquez was shot and killed as he rode the Q train in New York. Andrew Abdullah did not enter a plea after his arrest.

• A man threw two smoke canisters and opened fire on a train at the 36th Street Station in Brooklyn during the morning rush hour, wounding at least 10 people and injuring 13 others. Police arrested Frank R. James a day later.

• The woman was killed by a subway train after she was pushed into the tracks by a homeless man.

One transit advocate said on Tuesday that the subway incidents belie overall travel safety.

Danny Pearlstein, policy and communications director of the Riders Alliance, said that millions of people ride the subway every day.

We aren't at the point where everyone feels welcome in the subway.

A Siena College poll shows that 85 percent of New York City residents want more police officers on the subway.

The margin of error for the interviews was plus or minus 3.1 percent.

Public safety could be taking a toll on the mayor's popularity, with 74 percent of respondents saying he is doing a poor job fighting crime, while just 21 percent gave him good or excellent marks.
