Police have arrested a 16-year-old boy after a Good Samaritan was killed by a New York subway train when he jumped into the tracks to save another man who was being attacked by a knife-wielding gang.
The teen who was arrested is thought to be part of the gang pursuing the first man, who fell into the tracks shortly after the start of the new year at Fordham Road station in the Brox. The Good Samaritan jumped in to save him, but was hit by the train himself.
The incident happened at around 2.40am on January 1 on the southbound B/D train platform, according to the New York Police Department.
Police have released a composite image of suspects taken from the station's surveillance cameras and are still investigating the incident.
