NEW YORK, NY – A Central Park North man with a criminal past has been arrested and charged with manslaughter after a man he pushed down onto the subway tracks earlier in the day died at the hospital from head trauma.

28-year-old Andre Boyce pushed a 34-year-old man onto the subway tracks of the southbound 1 line in the area of West 96th Street and Broadway at around 1:58 am on Friday.

The victim was pulled back to the platform by NYC Transit officers, who treated him for a laceration to his head. He was transported to Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

Boyce was taken into custody at the scene without incident. Boyce has a criminal record and served time at Sing Sing Correctional Facility.
