, but at the same time, I kinda feel bad for this dude Anton Aleshin... like, what's going on with his life that he resorts to violence on a stranger? 
But on the other hand, 72 years old is old, and sometimes people just lose it, you know? 
Plus, we gotta think about the severity of the crime - attempted murder charges are no joke 
. And I don't want to downplay the victim's injuries, but what if this guy was having a mental health crisis or something? 
Still, I'm all for punishment and accountability... maybe Anton should've thought of that before he shoved someone onto a moving train 
.
. But what really gets me is that he thought it was okay to use physical force on someone just because of the circumstances. Newsflash, dude: violence is never an answer 
.
oh man, that's so sickening! I mean, can you imagine being on a train during New Year's Day and someone just pushes you onto the moving platform? It's crazy how some people can be so reckless and violent 
. The fact that he used brute force against an elderly person is just heartbreaking 
. I hope the victim recovers fully from his injuries, it sounds like he was really lucky to get to hospital in time 
. But still, 29? That's so young for someone who can resort to violence like that 
.
this is just crazy 
? Like, who does something so reckless and violent? And to make matters worse, the dude was 29 years old... like, we've seen some wild stuff on our news feeds lately, but this one takes the cake (or should I say, it takes a seat from a 72-yr-old gentleman 
).
. Hopefully, Anton Aleshin gets the help he's going to need too... some anger management or counseling would be a good start 
. anyway, glad the victim made it to hospital in one piece, that's all that matters now 
. this just goes to show how unpredictable life can be and we gotta stay calm and not jump to conclusions or get caught up in the chaos of a crazy situation 
.
I'm glad the victim is stable, but seriously, how do we let this kind of thing happen?
I guess you could say it's a case of someone losing control in the heat of the moment, but still, no excuse for using physical violence on someone. The fact that he got caught and charged with serious crimes is a good start, though 
The fact that the victim had severe cuts on his head is just horrific... I'm glad he made it out alive though 
. I hope he gets the help he needs and understands the severity of his actions 
. Anyone who would do something like that to someone else, especially an elderly person, needs serious help 
. Glad the police were able to respond quickly and take him into custody 
.
his cuts on the head sound super serious, hope he recovers fully 
. and now this guy has got charges for attempted murder and assault? like, yeah, he definitely earned it 
. but seriously, how did someone get so aggressive on a train during NYE chaos?!? 
. I mean, did he even think about what would happen if someone called 911? Like, didn't he anticipate getting busted? It's just crazy how people can be so reckless and violent towards others.
