In a harrowing incident that sent shockwaves through Harlem, 24-year-old Carlton McPherson allegedly executed a calculated attack, shoving an unsuspecting victim onto the subway tracks at the East 125th Street and Lexington Avenue station on Monday.

“He just snuck behind the guy and just cocked back and pushed him with, like, all his might,” Recio recounted.

The victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, was propelled onto the tracks by the force of the shove, as Recio vividly recalled,

“The guy just like, flew onto the tracks.” Shockingly, McPherson showed no signs of remorse or hesitation, waiting merely minutes on the platform until the next train arrived, as recounted by witnesses and sources familiar with the case.
