King County Prosecutors have filed an Attempted Murder In The Second Degree charge against the defendant in a Northgate case.
According to police investigators, the victim was waiting for a light rail train at the Northgate station when the defendant approached the victim from behind and attempted to push him in front of a light rail train coming into the station.
Surveillance footage shows the defendant carefully timed his assault, waiting to shove the victim until the train entered the station, making it clear that his goal was to inflict maximum harm.
Miraculously, the victim was able to catch his balance and avoid falling in front of the train.
As of this writing, the defendant remains in custody. Defendants are innocent until proven guilty

Wow that guy was lucky he could keep his balance with everything he's holding!
Prime case of caught red handed - in flagrante delicto!
Curious what the back story is. Gang initiation? Hit ordered by ex- wife? Hmmmmm.
it's unfortunate that our train system is unable to take basic guidance from other countries... it's seems like we should learn from recent examples in other countries and build train stops that would simply prevent this type of attack with fencing ect
