"Cops say Hernandez tried to push two men in front of the F and Q trains at the Lexington Avenue-63 Street subway station on the morning of March 8. The first attack unfolded at approximately 11:30 a.m. when he allegedly approached a 30-year-old man standing on the platform from behind and shoved him onto the tracks. Seconds later, the suspect then pushed an 83-year-old commuter, sending him tumbling to the roadbed."
"As Hernandez fled, good Samaritans helped pull both men back onto the platform before the next train arrived in the station. Both men were rushed to NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center by EMS, where the younger of the men was listed in stable condition; the senior was listed in critical condition."
"According to police sources, 34-year-old Bairon Hernandez, a Honduran immigrant, was cuffed at a Brooklyn homeless shelter by the NYPD Fugitive Task Force. He had been sought since Sunday. He is charged with attempted murder, attempted assault, assault, and reckless endangerment."
