A Queens man has been convicted of attempted murder and assault for pushing a woman into a departing train at the Lexington Avenue and 63rd Street station, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Tuesday.
“Ousmane Ag’s life tragically ended in the foyer of the home he shared with the very man who murdered him. While Marquius Chappelle was on the run after his irreversible and fatal conduct, Mr. Ag’s loved ones were grieving his devastating loss,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Despite his attempts to escape accountability, he will now serve significant time in prison.”
“Kamal Semrade turned a moving train into a weapon that caused devastating, life-altering injuries,” said District Attorney Bragg. “A jury of his peers convicted him of forcefully shoving an unsuspecting commuter from behind – a subway rider’s worst nightmare. I thank the survivor for bravely recounting her story at trial, and our skilled prosecutors for presenting a compelling case to secure this conviction.”
