The man who is believed to be responsible for pushing a stranger onto the subway tracks at a Brooklyn subway station in New York has been arrested and charged with attempted murder, it has been revealed.
41-year-old Lamale McRae was arrested earlier this week in Queens, as law enforcement officers were able to track him down thanks to the surveillance footage that caught the unprovoked attack which occurred on Friday.
According to ABC News, McRae, whose rap sheet includes 30 prior arrests, was later arraigned in Queens Criminal Court where he was charged with attempted murder in the second degree and attempted assault in the first degree. But that’s not all. Additional CCTV footage showed that McRae had allegedly pushed an eight-year-old boy to the floor as he fled the scene, resulting in the minor suffering from a knee injury, and prompting McRae to also be charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
McRae has been scheduled to appear in court on November 14. The victim, 32-year-old David Martin, was left with a broken collarbone and several bruises on his body from the incident on the L train platform at the Wyckoff Avenue and Myrtle Avenue subway station. As previously reported, his mother, Audrey Martin, told the New York Post on Sunday that her son was so traumatized by what transpired, he’d been battling suicidal thoughts ever since.
