New video footage has been released showing a man allegedly trying to push a passenger in front of an oncoming light rail train at a Seattle station. The incident happened at the Northgate station, and it has led to second-degree attempted murder charges against Elisio Melendez.
According to People, the footage shows a passenger standing on the platform waiting for a train. A man in a hoodie, later identified as Melendez, sneaks up behind the person and tries to shove them into the path of the train. The passenger managed to catch themselves, narrowly avoiding a fatal fall. After the failed attempt, Melendez ran away from the scene.
