New Jersey police capture man accused of shoving woman into moving NYC subway train
A man accused of shoving a woman into the side of a moving New York City subway train was captured in New Jersey on Thursday, police said.
Sabir Jones, 39, was detained by Newark police and transferred to the U.S. Marshals Service, Newark Public Safety Director Fritz Fragé said in a written statement.
New York City police on Wednesday began searching for Jones after he was identified as the person who “forcibly shoved” the 30-year-old woman as she was standing on a subway platform in midtown Manhattan. The suspect fled the scene on foot, exiting the turnstiles.
