Deranged man throws hero on to subway tracks after he attempted to stop the man from harassing people on the platform. Hero is killed by train.
What I find interesting from the photo, taken by a man who was repeatedly using his flash to warn the train engineer (believe that?), is the lack of help from anyone in the station, his death is fully documented, but no one appears to offer assistance. You can see in the background the large crowd standing their distance.

“The most painful part was I could see him getting closer to the edge. He was getting so close,” Abbasi said. “And people were running toward him and the train.
