A deranged homeless man allegedly shoved an Asian woman to her death in front of an oncoming subway train Saturday morning in Times Square
The horrifying episode unfolded at 9:40 a.m. just nine minutes after the man was caught on video entering the Times Square station at West 42nd Street and Broadway, police said. The 40-year-old woman was waiting on the southbound platform when she was shoved onto the Q train tracks and hit, police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said in a late afternoon press briefing in the station. "This incident was unprovoked and the victim does not appear to have any interaction with the suspect," Sewell said. He was identified as
Martial Simon, 61, with no known address, according to law enforcement sources. Simon, who has a gray beard and was wearing black hooded jacket, stuck his tongue out at photographers... "He is crazy, talking gibberish," said a law enforcement source.

When asked if New Yorkers had to be worried about the suspect being released immediately from jail, he said no.
Simon has a criminal record with at least three arrests going back to 1998, when he was busted for robbery, with the latest coming in October 2019 for criminal possession of a controlled substance. He served two years in state prison for attempted robbery and was released in August 2021, state records show. He was accused of entering a man's car on Sixth Avenue and Waverly Place on Aug. 9, 2017, simulating he had a weapon and saying "I have a gun. Give me your cash!"
Simon, who is originally from Haiti according to his family, also had three runs in with police as an emotionally disturbed person, sources said... Woman pushed to her death at Times Square subway station (https://nypost.com/2022/01/15/woman-pushed-to-her-death-at-times-square-subway-station/)
