like what is wrong with people these days? it's not like you're gonna make a difference by hurting someone else. and yeah subway safety has been a major issue for ages, but this takes the cake. i mean, 72 years old pushing onto a moving train? poor guy must've been traumatized 
anyway, i hope Aleshin gets what he deserves behind bars 
The fact that the dude was trying to attack an elderly commuter is just heartbreaking. And what's with the timing, 3:30 am? who does that?! 
the investigation is going on but I hope the guy gets the help he needs, and the victims family too 
this whole thing is just really sad 
subway safety is definitely a concern, but can't we also be thinkin' about the human behind the headlines? there's always more to the story, right? 
... like we haven't seen enough crazy stuff on those subways already! Can't believe some people have no regard for human life, especially seniors 
. I mean, who pushes someone onto a train? It's literally not that hard to be kind and considerate towards others, you know? And now we get to deal with the aftermath of this senseless act... great joy 
. The whole thing is just so shocking, but honestly, I'm surprised it took 20 minutes for them to catch this guy
