The suspect, Shadrach Ford, was allegedly angered when a 62-year-old woman ignored his request for a lighter, prompting him to shove her onto subway tracks.
Bystanders acted heroically, pulling the woman back from the tracks just in time, leading to her being transported to a hospital in stable condition.
Ford, 30, was captured less than 12 hours later, recognized by police at a station six stops away from the initial crime scene.
Incidents of violence in subway systems continue to rise, underscored by frequent attacks on innocent commuters, raising concerns over safety.
