Queens NY, Sunando Sen was pushed to his death on Thursday night, in what witnesses said was an unprovoked attack.
The Bangladesh passport of Mr. Sen, 46. He opened a copying business this year on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Mr. Suman said Mr. Sen was proud when he had saved enough money to open the business, New Amsterdam Copy.
A woman approaching from behind who had been sitting on a bench and who had been heard mumbling to herself. The woman pushed him into the path of a No. 7 train roaring into the 40th Street-Lowery Street subway station in Sunnyside. Mr. Sen was crushed under the train.
Onlookers screamed, the woman fled the station down two flights of stairs.
The seemingly unprovoked attack, the second time this month that a man was thrown to his death on the subway tracks, stirred some of the deepest fears of New Yorkers.
“When a murder happens in New York, it can often be dismissed as being in someone else’s backyard,” said Gene Russianoff, staff lawyer for the Straphangers Campaign, a rider advocacy group. “The subway is everyone’s backyard.”
Why is the weird death toll climbing in NY ever since Hurricane Sandy? What else was contained in that storm?
