The woman who was randomly shoved into a moving train in Manhattan this week said she “literally saw nothing” before the sudden attack.
Alexandra Sheehan, 31, of East Meadow, Long Island, was at the Lexington Avenue/59th Street station around 5:40 p.m. Tuesday, when Linda Chavez, 33, of Queens, suddenly pushed her as a 6 train rolled in, authorities said.
“I literally saw nothing before,” Sheehan told the Post in an exclusive interview as she stood near the door of her home Wednesday. “I just got pushed as the train was pulling in.”
Sheehan struck the first train car and fell back onto the platform, suffering an arm injury, police said.
“I’m in a lot of pain,” she said as she stood hunched over, holding her right elbow.
When asked if anyone helped her after the incident, Sheehan simply replied, “The police were there.”
Chavez was busted at the scene following the incident and now faces attempted murder and assault charges.
Sheehan did not speak any further, as a woman who appeared to be her mother repeatedly shut the door.
A LinkedIn page that appears to belong to Sheehan says that she is a development officer for special events at Lenox Hill Hospital.
She was taken to the same hospital for her injuries before returning home.
Hospital reps did not immediately return a request for comment Wednesday.
