“I was bathed in my own blood after what happened. Thank God two officers were on the train to help me and get the ambulance.”
On Friday, a maniac was arrested for allegedly pushing a 64-year-old painter onto subway tracks in Queens in a random attack that left the victim covered in blood.
Terrell Jarrett, 37, faces charges of attempted murder, assault, and reckless endangerment after he allegedly shoved Orlando Cabrera onto the tracks at the Parsons Boulevard "F" train station on May 31, according to police.
Cabrera was standing on the platform waiting for a southbound F train around 5:30 am, on his way to work, when Jarrett allegedly said "Get out!" and then shoved him without warning onto the tracks.
"This big guy had snuck up behind me and took me by surprise," Cabrera told the New York Post.
The victim suffered lacerations to his arms and head as a result of the fall.
"I was bathed in my own blood after what happened. Thank God two officers were on the train to help me and get the ambulance," he added.
Jarrett has a criminal history spanning the past two years, with six prior charges, including criminal trespassing and drug possession. He was taken into custody at a Dunkin' Donuts in Jamaica that he frequents.
Jarrett’s most recent prior arrest came last January at the Broadway Junction station in Brooklyn, where officers discovered him unconscious on the ground with a crack pipe. Cabrera said he was a "nervous wreck" following the attack, saying he couldn't fathom "going after someone without a reason, without a motive."
