Police from the 102nd Precinct in
Richmond Hill and Transit District
20 are searching for a man
who shoved a woman down a staircase
in the Jamaica-Van Wyck E/F subway
station earlier this month.
It was around 5 a.m. on Saturday,
Aug. 14, when the suspect approached
the 31-year-old victim and pushed her
from behind, sending her stumbling
headfirst down the stairs, police

The woman suff ered pain to the
right side of her body.
The assailant followed her to the
mezzanine area of the station and then
jumped the turnstile into the subway
system, according to the NYPD.
The suspect is described as a man,
25 to 40 years old, last seen wearing
a dark-colored baseball cap, a yellow
jacket and dark-colored pants.
No arrests have been made. The
investigation is ongoing.
