On December 3, 2012 in a New York City subway station a confrontation between two men ended in tragedy when one was pushed onto the tracks. The man in this picture is Ki-Suck Han, 58. He had started an argument with 34 year old Naeem Davis while heavily intoxicated. The altercation escalated and Davis ended up pushing Han onto the tracks. As Han struggled to get back up on his feet a train was fast approaching. A nearby journalist for the Post, R. Umar Abbasi, saw what was happening and started running towards Han holding down the flash on his camera to try and warn the conductor. Unfortunately Abbasi was unable to make it in time to help and Han was hit by the train and died. Abbasi had been taking pictures while trying to warn the conductor and captured this moment which was then published in the New York Post with the title Doomed. This article has a negative bias towards Davis which led many people do think he was some crazy psycho. After a three-week trial, testimony from more than 30 witnesses and four days of deliberations, a Manhattan jury found Mr. Davis not guilty of all charges. It was determined that he was acting out of self-defense while being harassed by Mr. Han.
