A 24-year-old man has been charged with murder in an unprovoked subway shove that killed a person at a busy East Harlem station during Monday’s evening rush, authorities said Tuesday. Carlton Mcpherson, of the Bronx, was apprehended at the scene, 125th Street and Lexington Avenue along the 4/5/6 line and charged overnight. Information on a possible attorney for him wasn’t immediately available. The victim, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.
This incident occurred on the same day the New York City Police Department announced a new operation aimed at enhancing security within the subway system. The department’s “Operation Fare Play” will deploy hundreds of officers to subway stations to address fare evasion and related crimes, signaling an intensified focus on transit security.
