A man has been charged with attempted murder after a woman was shoved into a moving subway car leaving her with a broken neck and spine.
Kamal Samrade, 39, of Queens has been charged with attempted murder and assault in connection to the attack on 35-year-old Emine Ozsoy, who was hurled into the train pulling out of Lexington Avenue and 63rd Street station early on Sunday.
Ozsoy is in critical condition after the horrific attack while she was on her way to work after her spine was broken and face slashed to the bone. There is a possibility she might not walk again.
Suspect Samrade was caught smiling as he was led out of the NYPD Transit Bureau in Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon wearing a gray t-shirt and blue Nike shorts.
Nancy Marrero, 45, of Long Island City, witnessed the attack and said the victim was walking down the subway platform, fixing her hair before she saw a man suddenly grab her head and push it into the side of the departing train.
‘She didn’t even see it coming. With open palms he just mushed her head — not her body — into the train. She just tumbled, just kept spinning because the train kept hitting her,’ Marrero told the New York Post.
