24-year-old man was “arrested and prosecuted’ Monday evening after causing the death of another passenger “in a gratuitous attack by pushing him onto the rails as the subway entered the station,” according to police. Police have not confirmed whether the young man arrested, Carlton Mcpherson, had any psychiatric disorders or history.
On March 6, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul announced the deployment of 750 National Guard troops to some of the more than 400 subway stations.
