The man pushed onto New York's subway tracks says he will ride again A man who survived being shoved onto subway tracks ahead of an oncoming train said that in spite of the physical and psychological trauma, he eventually plans to make his way back to the train.
Lynskey, 45, was standing on the platform in the West 18th Street station in Manhattan after lunch on New Year's Eve when a hard shove from behind sent him flying as a 1 train approached.
“This city is my home,” Joseph Lynskey told The New York Times in an interview published Friday, “and I won’t be intimidated.".
“I looked up, and I was underneath the 1 train,” he said during the interview in the Brooklyn apartment he shares with his 16-year-old dachshund, Leo.
The possibility of being pushed onto the tracks is a long-running nightmare for many New Yorkers.
