Woman Pushed Onto SEPTA Tracks Speaks About Random Attack

 

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) —  27-year-old Lauren Lichtman says when she accidentally went past her usual 34^th Street El stop Sunday morning on her way to work, she got off at the next stop, 40^th Street, to head back.

It was a decision that changed her life.

Police say Lichtman, in a random attack, was shoved onto the El tracks by suspect Kenneth Grimes, who then pulled a knife and, as she sprawled injured on the tracks, threatened her, yelling, “kill, kill, kill.”

Lichtman, who suffered a broken collar-bone and bruises, told CBS 3’s Walt Hunter she was “lucky” and her injuries could have been far, far worse.
