Man Killed After Being Pushed In Front Of NYC Subway Train

A man
standing with his wife on a Bronx subway platform
was reportedly pushed onto the tracks Sunday
morning by another man and he was immiidately
struck and killed by an oncoming train while the
assailant fled, Police has said.
Police said an unidentified man pushed 61-
year-old Wai Kuen Kwok of the Bronx off the
platform at the Grand Concourse and East
167th Street station in the Highbridge
neighborhood, an act that appeared to be
unprovoked. Kwok was struck by a
southbound D train at around 8:40 a.m. and
pronounced dead at the scene; his death
was classified a homicide. His wife was not
injured.
There was no indication that Kwok knew the
man or had had an altercation with him
before he was pushed, police said.
Witnesses told police they believed the man
fled the subway station after shoving Kwok
and jumped on a city bus.
Police later released video surveillance
showing a man wearing a dark jacket
getting off a city bus and walking into a
store. The man emerges moments later
smoking a cigarette and strolls away. Police
said the man was wanted for questioning in
connection with Kwok's death.
The victim's son, Gary Kwok, 29, a doctoral
student at Adelphi University, told The New
York Times that his father was a "fine,
regular family man."
There have been three other incidents in
recent years that involved a person being
pushed onto the tracks.
