African Migrant Charged With Violent Subway Attack
NEW YORK CITY, NY - On Tuesday, police arrested Anthonia Egegbara, 29, a day after she was caught on a security camera pushing a woman into the subway train as it pulled into a Times Square station.
The 42-year-old victim was slammed against the oncoming train, leaving her with a broken nose, a broken jaw and several other injuries. She has since been released from Bellevue Hospital and is now recovering at home.
The victim, 42-year-old Lenny Javier, told WCBS:

My face is swollen, I have a broken nose, a fractured chin...I never thought it would happen to me. Someone needs to take responsibility for this, because it can’t be happening.
