A man was dragged to death by a New York City subway train when a bag he was carrying got stuck in the door during the Monday evening rush hour commute, according to police.

Yaw Boahene, 57, had been exiting the train at a Brooklyn subway station around 6 p.m. when his bag, which police described as a shopping bag, snagged in the closing train doors. The Brooklyn resident was pulled onto the tracks and run over by the train as it left the station, police said in a statement.

      Okay…

      I mean that’s factually incorrect, but what’s your point?

      You enjoy reading stories and watching videos of people being pushed onto the NY subway? It prevents both, and modern countries use them. The US should be investing in modernization instead of genocides.
