He almost throws our guy onto the tracks, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said previously. The fight extends all the way down the platform, probably about 25 feet.

Police described the Oakland shooting as a gangland assassination, where three cars pulled up with four gunmen inside, who opened fire and killed 24-year-old Bert Brigham III. The shooting occurred more than four years ago, and though police say they caught three suspected Funktown gang associates with guns used in the shooting the very next day, everyone has avoided charges until now.
