Police say the man behind a violent subway station shove on the Upper East Side that sent a 74-year-old to the tracks this week is now in custody.
After his arrest, Derrick Mills could be heard saying he pushed the man at the 68th Street-Hunter College station because"he called me a woman." But that's contrary to how police and witnesses have described the incident. The NYPD has said the suspect simply went up to the victim and allegedly shoved him onto the tracks, then took off out of the station around midnight on Tuesday.
"Our perp pushed the victim, causing him to fall onto the tracks. Fortunately there was an MTA employee close by assisted our victim back up from the track," said NYPD Transit Chief Michael Kemper.Police on Thursday said the surveillance images that captured the alleged suspect were instrumental to his arrest. Patrol officers in midtown nabbed Mills after recognizing him from the wanted flier.
