A 23-year-old man was arrested and charged with attempted murder on Tuesday night, hours after a man waiting on a Manhattan subway platform was violently shoved into the path of an oncoming train.
The victim, whose name had not been released, was in critical but stable condition at Bellevue Hospital, the police said.
The man who was arrested in the shoving, Kamel Hawkins, was also charged with second-degree assault. He has a string of past arrests on charges of assault, harassment and weapons possession, according to police and court records.
Video of the attack, which happened around 1:30 p.m., shows a man in an orange jacket who appears to be looking down at his phone while standing near the edge of the southbound platform at the 18th Street No. 1 station.
