Police arrest Brooklyn man, 32, caught on surveillance footage 'kicking woman down subway station escalator after he pushed past her and she said "Excuse me"'

She told ABC 7 that the incident has left her traumatized.

''Say excuse me,' that's the New York way,' and that was it,' she said. 'And then out of nowhere, he felt the need to have to kick me down the stairs. You know, as if I had the audacity to address him and tell him and say, 'Excuse me,' at that moment. He felt like he just had to kick me down.' 

He was charged with assault and attempted assault, it is unclear if he is currently in custody or out on bail. 

This is the latest violent incident on a New York City subway train.

On September 5 a New York father and his young daughter were spat on and threatened with a knife by a male passenger after asking him to stop smoking marijuana on the train.

A video released by the NYPD revealed the incident which was captured on a cellphone on a Manhattan D-Bound train in the Bronx earlier this month. 

The footage captured the alleged pothead sitting in his seat as he was seen spitting on the 35-year-old father and his four-year-old daughter, who were seated on the other side of the doors a few feet away from the man.

According to the NYPD, there were 2.19 felony crimes reported per one million riders for the month of August relating to murder, rape, robbery, grand larceny, felony assault and burglary, according to The New York Post.

The August statistic was an increase as compared to 1.78 in July and 1.77 in June.

Cameras were installed on Monday as an effort to monitor subway crime and keep people on public transportation safe.

'The number of arrests have dramatically increased. Part of that is directly attributable to cameras,' Warren said.

'You are not anonymous in the subway right now if you are out there trying to prey on our riders.'
