What can $2.75 Get You in New York? Shoved in Front of a Train

 





A 52-year-old male was shoved onto the subway tracks in Lower Manhattan today. The train was able to stop in time allowing the man to scamper back onto the platform and thus escape injury.

NYPD: Subway "Shovings" May Be an Initiation Right by City's Gangs
