Anthonia Egegbara, 32, was
spotted Tuesday by NYPD officers on patrol within the transit system and taken
into police custody in connection to the assault, sources say. News 12
has since learned the person who was
pushed is from New Jersey.
The Queens resident
allegedly shoved the 42-year-old woman into an incoming train while she was
standing on the Times Square - 42nd Street subway station platform shortly
after 8 a.m.
The victim fell back onto
the platform, police say. She sustained serious physical injuries to her face
and legs, and she was taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue in stable
condition.
Police say there is no clear motive at this
time. The
woman suspected of shoving her has been charged with attempted murder.
