According to CBS and the Daily Mail, Malik Jackson, 35, suddenly stripped naked on the subway platform on 110th Street and Lenox Avenue in Manhattan on Saturday afternoon local time (16th).

A passenger danced in front of him. After the other party showed discomfort, Malik kicked and hit him angrily, pushing the passenger off the subway platform.

According to the report, the victim was pushed back and unconscious, and Malik still had to take action again.

At this time, Tyler Horrell, a 55-year-old retired U.S. military who passed by, jumped off the platform to stop him and was also attacked by Malik.

During the scuffle between the two, Taylor knocked Malik to the ground.

Malik got up and hit the high-voltage rail on his shoulder and died.

Malik’s mother, Ethel Trammell, reportedly said after the incident that Malik was a mental patient and had been diagnosed with schizophrenia since the age of 17.

Malik was left unharmed for a long time due to the coronavirus pandemic.

According to Ethel, Malik usually lives in a shelter, receives regular outpatient services and injection treatment, and medical staff will check whether he is taking medicine on time.

But after the outbreak spread, the order was disrupted, and no one paid attention to his situation.

Ethel learned the bad news when she went to the shelter to deliver food to her son.

She was strange to the people in the video: “I have never seen him like that, never. I can’t think of how he went there naked.

She said that if he was in a normal mental state after taking medicine, he was the kind of person who would pull the victim off the platform.

Because the train stopped in time, the first passengers and Taylor were only slightly injured and were sent to hospital for treatment.
