Wicked Man Pushes Passenger Out of a Moving Train

 

Police have arrested a 44-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder after he shoved another man off the platform onto the tracks at JR Machida Station in Tokyo on Friday.

 

The man who fell onto the tracks was able to get back up onto the platform before the next train arrived. Police said he suffered a back injury. 

 

Police identified the suspect as Tatsuya Yamazaki, a real estate company employee. Fuji TV reported that a 36-year-old office worker who was on his way to work got into an argument with another man after bumping into his shoulder. 

 

The second man then shoved him off the platform. Yamazaki was quoted by police as saying he was angry after being bumped into and that he shoved the man but denied any intent to kill.

 

Yamazaki was identified through platform surveillance camera footage, police said.
