The man accused of knocking a 72-year-old man unconscious by shoving him into a moving Bronx subway train<\/a> in an unprovoked attack near Yankee Stadium has been charged with attempted murder, officials said Friday.<\/p>\n

Anton Aleshin is also facing assault, harassment, and reckless endangerment charges for the attack on the No. 4 train platform at the\u00a0161st St.-Yankee Stadium station<\/a> just three hours after the ball fell in Times Square New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Aleshin, 29, is facing the harassment charge because of his victim\u2019s age and the age disparity between the two men, officials said.<\/p>\n

The victim was on the Manhattan-bound platform at about 3:30 a.m. on Thursday when Aleshin, 29, crept up behind him and shoved him into the side of a train that had just pulled into the station. The senior bounced off the side of the train and fell back onto the platform, unconscious, according to court documents. He suffered a deep cut to the head from his impact with the train.<\/p>\n

The attack was completely unprovoked, cops said. Aleshin didn\u2019t say anything to the senior before he pounced and the two men didn\u2019t know each other, officials said.<\/p>\n

Medics rushed the senior to Lincoln Hospital<\/a>, where he\u2019s expected to recover.<\/p>\n

Cops grabbed Aleshin at the scene. He was charged after being questioned by police and gave a statements that led to charges being filed.<\/p>\n

The attack was caught on surveillance video, Bronx prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Aleshin lives in Brooklyn, almost 20 miles from where he attacked the senior. This is his first arrest in New York, cops said.<\/p>\n

During his arraignment late Thursday, a Bronx Criminal Court judge ordered him held without bail.<\/p>\n

An email to Legal Aid, who represented him at his arraignment, was not immediately returned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The man accused of knocking a 72-year-old man unconscious by shoving him into a moving Bronx subway train…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":87440,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,262,263,266,85,267,9,24,264,12,63,261,265,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-87439","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-city","tag-county","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-county","tag-news","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-crime","tag-sub-county-region","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87440"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
