Philadelphia man killed after seemly getting pushed in front of an oncoming train during a fight.
On a SEPTA train platform in Philadelphia, 40-year-old Chaz Wearing, a homeless man who lives in the train system, punches an unidentified man causing him to fall onto the tracks as a train approaches the 34th Street Station. The incident came as the two men were fighting right next to the tracks.
The man died instantly.
Wearing is a parasite with a long rap sheet. According to the local ABC affiliate, “Wearing has a warrant for a strangulation case in Delaware County, and the D.A.’s office said his criminal history spans other Pennsylvania counties including Clinton County and Lycoming County.”
Bystanders report that the victim’s intent was simply to retrieve his lighter, but nothing had been confirmed.
Wearing was arrested and now the man’s death is being treated as a homicide. Thoughts?
