“He’s known to us in the subway system,” the chief said, adding that video from security cameras in the station had helped investigators identify Mr. Jones as the suspect.
Being shoved suddenly on a subway platform in particular is a perennial urban nightmare.
Through Oct. 15, there had been 15 people pushed off subway platforms in New York City this year, compared with 22 in the same period last year, the police said.
In May, a woman was critically injured after a man shoved her head against a moving subway train at the Lexington Avenue/63rd Street station.
The woman, Emine Yilmaz Ozsoy, 35, was partially paralyzed in the attack.
