This is NOT a near death experience. ABC news sucks!
Hate crime. Attempted murder. Dangerous people have no place in our society.
First of all, he didn’t have a near death experience. He nearly died. There is a big difference. A near death experience is where a person clinically dies, goes to heaven or the home realm meets the source of everything and then is sent back to the earthly realm to complete their soul purpose.
Jewlensky 😂 🇺🇦
The man is blessed not lucky
Lovely US citizen.
That pusher is a probably a legal citizen. New York sucks!
Video tape of the crime and he pleads Not Guilty? That should not be legal when the proof is right there on video.
Incredible. God bless you Joe.
dont check your grindr notifications on the edge of the platform
Only…IN….New York City
Miracle ❤❤ thank God
Thank you Jesus! Praying for this man and his healing.
We see here a strong Survivor… But the man who pushed him is a very Weak and Small man… By his actions – he is known!!
I would have told that more on who pushed him if I ever see you god won’t help u
Stay off of your phone and pay attention to your surroundings. Dude is 23 and ruined his life in a split second for no reason.
That’s a hate crime
Anyone surprised at the demigraphic?
Those two guys where are they?
Lucky guy. How is his dog?
Praise Jesus, Father God, and the Holy Spirit ✝️ this man lived…
Thanks to very one when helped from the hospital workers to the ems God bless them all
I'm so sad hearing your story. That person who pushed you should go to hell in Prison .God bless you.
“Pleading not guilty.” APPALLING
If the races were reverse, this would be a whole different conversation. You know it, I know it.
Bidens New York
I'm going to play devil's advocate because it's true.
Don't stand at the edge of the platform playing with your phone being un observant of your surroundings.
Everybody and that damn phone.
I'm glad the guy survived but everybody's got a phone in their face not paying attention.
I grew up in Boston and riding the subway in the 70s, even then I didn't stand at the edge of the platform.
Not a near death experience.. quit sensationalizing
This is traumatizing. I pray for his full recovery 🙏
"I'm truly overwhelmed right now. My heart aches, yet I'm filled with inspiration. It brings me such joy to see him prioritizing his healing journey. 💖"
That’s a hate crime
What was that guys motive? I can’t help but wonder. Gang initiation? Just a lust for murder? Either way, sad and terrible.
Funny how if this were the other way around, it would be all over the news daily getting as much press as that plane/helicopter crash.. and there would be no question as to the motive.
All 3 of those boys were in on it, the other 2 should be charged as accomplices to attempted murder.
A dare, a gang initiation, stoned…???
Surprise Surprise, "Kamel Hawkins"….such a wonderful culture those people are!!!
It made me chuckle when I saw him being handcuffed out of the subway, the very same scene as the crime. Dude must live there lol
what a beautiful person and what a great daddy he is to his little doggie
Did they arrest the guy who pushed them?
Pure evil that was
They should put up a large plastic wall, or a wall of some type to prevent this types of things.
Around blacks, never relax!
This dude is definitely a liberal who voted for the people who put soft on crime policies in effect and this is the result.
I hate New York. It seriously is a god-awful place. People need to stop romanticizing it
