College Student Crushed To Death After Drunken Attacker Pushes Him Onto Train Tracks

Police are on the hunt for a man that pushed a 20-year-old New York college student onto the train tracks where he was crushed to death by an incoming train. Hit the jump for the full story.

– A 20-year-old college student is dead and another man is being sought by police after a late night altercation in the New York City subway turned deadly.

LaGuardia Community College student Joshua Basin, 20, died after an oncoming train pinned him between the tracks and the platform.

He was waiting at the Bedford Avenue stop in Brooklyn last night when he and another man got in a fight that spilled onto the tracks.

The Howard Beach, Queens resident got into a verbal argument with another man while riding a Manhattan-bound L train, police said.

He and the man, thought to be white and in his early 30s, exited the train at the trendy Bedford Ave stop. The man, wearing a black fleece, reportedly said, ‘It’s showtime.’

That’s when things got physical, witnesses said.

During the fight, both men fell onto the tracks as hundreds of horrified witnesses looked on.

Though the attacker – who is believed to have been drunk – managed to escape before the train came into the station, Mr Basin was not so lucky, and was hit by an oncoming train.
