Joseph Lynskey, 45, a New York City music programmer, miraculously survived after he was abruptly shoved into the path of a fast-moving southbound train at the 18th Street 1 Train station on Tuesday afternoon.
Meanwhile, his accused attacker, 23-year-old Kamel Hawkins, looked on indifferently as he was arraigned on attempted murder and second-degree assault charges at Manhattan Criminal Court on New Year's Day. Despite suffering from serious wounds including a cracked skull, four broken ribs and a ruptured spleen, Lynskey is expected to make a full recovery. 'Our main priority right now - our sole priority right now - is supporting our brother Joe,' Eileen Parsons, his sister, told The New York Times .
'We are so grateful that he is alive.' Lynskey is the head of content and music programming at Gray V - a New York company that creates background music and playlists for hotels, restaurants, gyms and retail businesses. Lynskey's online bio described him as being a Miami native when he first began 'honing his sound' during the 1990s, The Times reported.
