A straphanger was fatally struck by a Bronx train after a stranger pushed him off the platform in front of the victim’s horrified wife, police sources said Sunday.
Wai Kuen Kwok, 61, was struck by a southbound D train at Grand Concourse and East 167th Street in Highbridge around 8:50 a.m., authorities said.
The man was standing on the platform with his wife, Yow Ho Lee, when he was pushed by a guy who then fled out of the station and onto a Bx35 bus at Grand Concourse and East 167th Street, sources said.
The train’s motorman witnessed the push and slammed on his brakes, but it was too late, a transit source said.
