A man has been sentenced to prison after being convicted of violently pushing a woman into a moving subway train in New York City, an attack that left the victim severely injured and permanently disabled.

The case stemmed from an unprovoked incident on a subway platform in Manhattan, where prosecutors said the victim was commuting when she was suddenly shoved into an approaching train.
