That's horrible. I hope she has a speedy recovery.

This is such a rich statement. Attempted murder just gets "treatment" and out back out in society. Perfect. Too bad no one pushed him onto the tracks and let the train take care of his treatment.

I assumed the PP was joking.

Honestly I am getting tired of people caring more about the attacker than the people who will have lifelong scars, physical problems and PTSD from an unprovoked attack. We sit here and play semantics with words like homeless vs unhoused, mentally ill to mental health disorder, Substance use disorder instead of drug addict while they are out in society harming people and we just care about using words that wont hurt their feelings. You want to give them help and then they refuse to keep up on meds and back to being a detriment to society. It's exhausting and I am over it.

There was no way for a Good Samaritan to intervene, as there was no hint that the assailant would lash out at the woman.

I agree with this. It seems like they were probably connected in some way. This guy does not look like a typical homeless (or even severely mentally ill person [my BIL is psychotic most of the time, and there's a particular look to psychosis!]), and they both have Turkish names. It doesn't add up that it's a random attack.

This is horrible.

I have read three stories on this though - and only one said he is believed to be homeless. Not that I have a whole lot of tolerance for crazy people on metro or the subway. We had to leave a metro train last month after a guy kept ranting about killing specific people on the train. And to their credit, metro was on it.

The victim is an artist. There is a GoFundMe for her.

Holy crap, that's horrible.
But it's not a contest. Now we know about it. Thanks OP.

Yes, I used to have compassion in my younger years, but an unprovoked spitting incident changed things. If I see a large group of them on one side of the street, I cross. If one is loitering at the entrance of a store I need to enter, I skip it and find another or come back later.

My office building now has 2 security guards stationed at reception to deal with the homeless who follow employees in or who harass employees & guests.

Will AOC have any comments?

You can’t call him “homeless”. He is “differently housed”.

Lets just all be happy the homeless man will now get treatment and that no one unnecessarily restrained him

The details in that article are horrifying. A homeless man unprovoked attacked a commuter by pushing her head into the side of the moving train - she suffered severe facial injuries, a broken spine, and more injuries.

Horrifying situation and yet this doesn’t receive near the attention that the other subway situation did. She will never ever be anything near the same.

“Authorities have said it appears Ozsoy was attacked at random, blindsided from behind by a man who shoved her head into the side of a train at Lexington Avenue and 63rd Street around 6 a.m. Sunday. It wasn't clear if he made any sort of comment before the shove, but the NYPD says the attack was entirely unprovoked -- and the woman was critically hurt.”
