Girl Survives After Getting Pushed Off Subway Platform In Front Of Train Via NY Daily News When a 15-year-old girl was shoved into the path of an oncoming train in Queens, nothing seemed real — especially the massive subway car barreling down on her. “It just didn’t seem realistic,” the still stunned Xinyi Huang told the Daily News on Friday to describe the March 5 brush with death at the 103rd St./Corona Plaza station in Corona. “I was just standing there waiting for the train to go to Manhattan (and) he pushed me from behind. I’m still not sure what happened. I’m not brave … I was just lucky.” George Pautt, 38, was busted for shoving the teen onto the tracks after tipsters linked him to the video of the maniac fleeing the station. The teen was standing on the Manhattan-bound platform about 9 p.m. when Pautt shoved her onto the tracks and ran off, cops said. But the quick-thinking teen managed to squeeze herself against the trackbed wall as the No. 7 train pulled into the elevated station. The train rolled past her, injuring her ribs. “I saw the train coming and I don’t know how I got to the wall,” she said. “It wasn’t real. I wasn’t thinking of anything. … I just reacted.” Pautt, who is mentally ill, according to police sources, was charged with attempted murder. He appeared dazed, his eyes stretched wide, as a judge held him without bail Friday night. Prosecutors said that two eyewitnesses had tagged him as the pusher. “He should be punished,” Huang said. “There might be other people who this might happen to.” The high school freshman is still bruised, but she proudly returned to school on Wednesday. “Some of my friends know, but not everybody,” she said. Her near-death experience will not stop her from riding the rails. “It’s transportation. I use it every day,” she said. “I’m just going to be more careful.” Good for her, luck and intelligence was on her side for sure!
