Can you believe this?
In the most chilling story we have heard in a very long time, a Queens dad trying to help a few strangers from a deranged man on a Times Square subway platform was pushed onto the tracks by the lunatic and fatally crushed by a train yesterday.
The most shocking thing of all though? The New York Post ran with the last photo of the man stuck on the tracks as a full front page today.
The New York Post reported:
“Ki Suk Han, 58, desperately tried to scramble back to the platform as onlookers screamed, shouted and frantically waved their hands and bags in a bid to get the downtown Q train to stop at around 12:30 p.m.
“The attacker, who had been menacing others in the station, looms over his victim after pushing him on the tracks.
“Post freelance photographer R. Umar Abbasi, who had been waiting on the platform of the 49th Street statio, ran toward the train, repeatedly firing off his flash to warn the operator.
“I just started running, running, hoping that the driver could see my flash,” said Abbasi, whose camera captured chilling shots of Suk’s tragic fight for his life.
The train slowed, but a dazed and bruised Han still wound up hopelessly caught between it and the platform as it came to a halt.”
The report details how a medical student sprang into action to help the man, but it was too late. His attacker was also seen running out of the station.
Han’s wife was left distraught as she revealed herself and her husband had had a small argument before he left the house that morning.
The photographer claimed he was flashing his camera to warn the train… but, if so, was there any need to sell the photo to the paper afterwards?
The New York Post ran the story as its front page.
