WHITE PLAINS (WABC) -- Authorities say a woman suffered injuries when someone pushed her in front of a train at the White Plains Metro-North station.

"I'm just thankful that she's alive," said the victim's brother.

Eyewitness News caught up with the victim's brother at Metro-North's White Plains station where, just hours earlier Wednesday, 39-year-old Howard Mickens is accused of pushing the woman onto the tracks in front of an empty but moving northbound train.

The victim's brother asked that Eyewitness News not reveal his identity or his sister's name.
