Orlando Cabrera, a 64-year-old house painter, lived through a real nightmare while waiting for the subway to go to work in New York. It was 5:40 in the morning and the station was almost empty when a stranger approached from behind and pushed him directly onto the tracks.
The impact was brutal. Orlando fell headfirst and was left covered in blood while the attacker escaped. Fortunately, several passengers managed to help him out before a train arrived. He suffered multiple cuts, bruises, and a severe nervous breakdown after the attack.
The attack appears to have been completely random. The attacker, who slipped through the turnstile, remains at large.
