In a violent incident on Monday night at the Whitehall Street subway station in Lower Manhattan, a 35-year-old man named Terrell Coley pushed a 71-year-old man and a 30-year-old man onto the train tracks following a dispute. Both victims managed to escape serious injury and climbed back onto the platform before a train arrived. The elderly man sustained an elbow fracture, while the younger victim suffered minor injuries. Coley was arrested and faces multiple charges including second-degree assault and reckless endangerment, with an investigation ongoing to determine the cause of the initial confrontation.
The suspect, Terrell Coley, 35, is accused of pushing the senior and a 30-year-old man onto the R and W train tracks at the Whitehall Street station around 10:30 p.m.
Both victims were injured but still able to climb back up onto the platform on their own before the next train came into the station, authorities said.
Coley of Brooklyn was arrested at the scene and charged with two counts of second-degree assault, a felony, as well as reckless endangerment, authorities said.
Law-enforcement sources say Coley and the two men got into an argument before the shoving, but it's unclear what sparked the feud.
