una game Victim in Subway Shoving Suffered a Broken Skull and Other Injuries
A man who was shoved off a Manhattan subway platform and into the path of a fast-moving train not only surviveduna game, but was able to speak to his family from his hospital bed.
The man, Joseph Lynskey, 45, suffered serious injuries: a ruptured spleen, four broken ribs and a fractured skull, according to court records filed on Wednesday.
“Our main priority right now — our sole priority right now — is supporting our brother Joe,” his sister Eileen Parsons said in a phone interview. “We are so grateful that he is alive.”
His survival was a matter of inches. Mr. Lynskey was struck by the train but not head-on, according to two law enforcement officials with knowledge of the matter. He also fell next to the train, not under it, apparently saving his life, the officials said.
The person accused of attacking Mr. Lynskey on Tuesday, Kamel Hawkins, 23, was charged with attempted murder in the second degree and four counts of assault, according to a criminal complaint filed by Manhattan prosecutors.
Mr. Hawkins was arraigned in Manhattan criminal court on Wednesday morning, a spokesman for the district attorney said. A judge ordered that Mr. Hawkins be held in jail until his next court date on Jan. 6.

Icom said in a statement Thursday that it had not shipped any of the IC-V82 radios from its plant in Wakayama, Japan, in roughly a decade. But the company has long warned of what it called a surge in counterfeit IC-V82 transceivers.
What is startling is that one of the reports, from the fiscally conservative Citizens Budget Commission, said that the transit system needed more repairs than the agency could possibly handle between 2025 and 2029.
