Another Man Has Died After Being Pushed in Front of a Subway Train in New York
Well, this is starting to get a bit weird. For the second time in the span of a month, a man in New York City has been killed after being pushed in front of a subway train. The image above is the now infamous front-page of the New York Post from Dec. 4, when a freelance photographer working for the paper caught the imminent death of a man named Ki Suk Han. Tonight an unidentified man in Queens was pushed in front of the train by an also unidentified woman. Here is more or less what we know right now, courtesy of the New York Times' Ravi Somaiya.
The man pushed to his death under a subway train "appeared not to notice" the woman who did it, witnesses tell police.

The woman, who was heavy-set, around 5"5 and in her 20s, according to police, fled and has still not been found.

Man shoved under subway train apparently had no time to act before it hit. His body, @wendyruderman reports, is under the 2nd car.

More on this as it develops, but maybe you New Yorkers should consider taking the bus for the rest of the year.
