"Man Charged with Attempted Murder After Pushing Girlfriend onto NYC Subway Tracks"

A woman in Manhattan had both feet amputated after her boyfriend pushed her onto subway tracks, resulting in his arrest for attempted murder and felony assault. The incident occurred days after Gov. Kathy Hochul deployed hundreds of state troopers and National Guard members in the subway system, aiming to address rising transit crime. The boyfriend, Christian Valdez, had a history of violent offenses, including a previous prison sentence for slashing a woman and her child. Subway safety has become a focus for the governor, who faced criticism for the deployment but later restricted National Guard members from carrying long guns during bag searches.
