Police Investigating Incident Where Man Pushed Woman Onto Railroad Tracks

The NJ Transit Police and Long Branch Police are investigating an incident where a man pushed a woman onto the railroad tracks at the Long Branch Train Station late Wednesday night.

NJ Transit Spokesperson John Durso Jr. said police have identified a suspect, but that no arrests have been made at this time.

Durso said the incident occurred around 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday night, and police discovered that a male subject had pushed a woman onto the tracks from the train platform.

The woman was taken to Monmouth Medical Center where she was treated and released for "non-life threatening injuries," according to Durso.

Durso said the male subject fled the scene and dropped a backpack that contained gun parts and ammunition.

Durso said the incident is still under investigation by the Long Branch Police and NJ Transit Police.
