NEW YORK — New York City police detectives Monday canvassed the area around a Bronx subway station where a man waiting for a train was pushed to his death on the tracks Sunday morning.
Investigators are hoping to find anyone who might be able to identify a man seen leaving the station.
Elsewhere, police officers fanned out with wanted posters of the man, offering rewards for information. The chief of the department’s transit bureau called the search a “24/7 operation.”
But by Monday afternoon, no major leads had developed, nor had tips come in from the posters or from surveillance video released late Sunday by the police. The video showed in some detail the man — at this point wanted only for questioning — as he walked from the 167th Street subway station, exited a Bronx bus, and smoked a cigarette near a deli in the minutes after the attack.
The rider, Wai Kuen Kwok, 61, had been waiting for a downtown D train with his wife, both immigrants from Hong Kong, as they made their weekly Sunday trip down to Chinatown for dim sum and shopping.
But about 8:45 a.m., as the train roared into the station, Kwok, 61, was shoved from behind and pushed onto the tracks, police said.
