NEW YORK — A man who was shoved to his death in front of a subway train on Thursday night was a 46-year-old from India who lived in New York City and worked for a printing business, police said.
Investigators searched Friday for an unidentified woman who rose from a bench and suddenly pushed the man in the back with both hands, sending him flying onto the tracks as a train entered an elevated station in Queens.

There should be a barrier of some kind, which is retracted once the train has come to a stop. I should think that our ingenious mechanical engineers could come up with something of the sort. Putting it a couple of feet back from the edge of the platform would prevent baby carriages from rolling into the pit, or drunks from blundering over the edge, to say nothing of deliberate actions by unstable persons. Maybe we should offer a prize for the best solution!
