How many people die each year from being pushed in front of a subway
train in New York City? Looking for the average number of deaths over
a period of, say, the last 5 years.
Hello sjsnyc-ga,
It appears that only one person has died in the period 1999-2003 from
being pushed in front of a New York City subway train. The articles
on such incidents, including articles in the past 8 days, consistently
cite only one death: Kendra Webdale in 1999. Presumably, if other
people had died, at least some articles would mention that.
The articles do describe other incidents where people were injured
when pushed in front of a subway train, as well as other times when
people were pushed onto the subway tracks or nearly were.
