Man Pushed to His Death under New York subway

A 61-year-old man was killed Sunday in New York when he was pushed onto subway tracks by an unknown assailant, said police, who released a video of the suspect.

The incident took place in the Bronx on Sunday, where the victim, identified as Wai Kuen Kwok, was waiting for the D train, at the 167th street stop, with his wife. The couple were headed to Chinatown, in lower Manhattan.

The suspect pushed the man from the platform just as a train arrived in the station, shortly before 9am (1400 GMT), as his horrified wife watched helplessly.

The victim and his attacker did not appear to know each other and had not argued, witnesses said.

Police released a video of the suspected killer, who left the scene by bus. On the video, a man wearing a black jacket over a dark t-shirt gets off the bus, goes into a store, and emerges to smoke a cigarette as he ambles away.

A reward of $2,000 was offered for any information that could help the investigation.
