Migrant pushes woman under train, this isn't the first time

The woman did not survive the attack and was run over by the train. The migrant who pushed her onto the tracks claimed that he was targeting the elderly and children, as they were 'easy prey.' This type of manslaughter appears common among migrants in Europe.

Kids and the elderly are easy prey

A Guinean migrant arrested by French anti-crime officers for allegedly pushing an elderly woman to her death on train tracks in Paris. The 40-year-old suspect named Mamadou B. said he wanted to kill children and the elderly because they were “easy prey,” according to a police source. This is why he singled out his victim at the RER B Cité Universitaire station in the 14th district of the capital, who died shortly after being struck by a train.

The man then fled the scene and was arrested later for shoplifting inside a supermarket. He admitted to police that he had pushed an “elderly lady” under a train. Using surveillance footage, authorities confirmed that he was the individual who pushed the woman to her death. The Guinean migrant was also accused of a similar crime 12 years ago.

Back then, the court dropped the charges against him, and he also got away with a rather lenient sentence recently, as he was transferred to a psychiatric ward.

This kind of murder is common practice among migrants in Europe. Recently, a 27-year-old Syrian man pushed a young girl onto the tracks at a train station in Märkischer Kreis, in Germany’s North Rhine-Westphalia. The 16-year-old teenager was ambushed by the migrant. Police confirmed the attack on the young woman. According to their report, she was getting off a regional high-speed train to Dortmund,

when the migrant suddenly pushed her onto the tracks. Witnesses said that the attacker first jumped after the young woman, then pinned her to the rails for a while, climbed back onto the platform and got back on the train, as if nothing had happened.

Passengers rushed to the aid of the assaulted girl and managed to lock the migrant inside a compartment until police arrived. Initially, authorities refused to give any information to the press about the nationality of the attacker but, under pressure from the media, they admitted the next day that he was a Syrian man. However, the question as to whether the migrant has had run-ins with the law before remains unanswered.

The attacked girl explained that she and her attacker did not know each other, which means the 16-year-old victim was a random choice for the violent migrant.

In 2017, a group of Syrian and Libyan youths attacked two people at the Kreuzberg train station in the German capital and pushed one of them onto the tracks. The 26-year-old man managed to climb back onto the platform, averting the incoming train. Also in 2017, a 16-year-old Moroccan migrant robbed a 34-year-old woman and pushed her onto the train tracks. The assailant had previously been in police custody for assault. A few months later, a Moroccan and a Libyan asylum seeker pushed a father onto the rails and prevented him from getting up and back onto the platform. The man owes his life to the train driver’s swift reaction and emergency brakes, as he managed to stop the train a few metres away, avoiding the tragedy.

In 2019, a gang of migrants pushed three German youths in front of a train, two of whom did not survive the tragedy. Then, in Voerde, a 28-year-old man from Kosovo pushed a 34-year-old woman in front of a train passing through the station, with no chance of survival. The perpetrator with an extensive criminal record for violence was already known to the authorities.

The ingenuity of letting murderers off the hook is often amazing

Instead of deportation, sending criminal migrants to mental asylum citing a need for psychiatric treatment is also common practice in Western Europe. If lawyers can can prove that mental illness was a factor in an aggressive radical offender’s crime, then the original sentence can be significantly reduced. This means that many migrants do not have to be deported, and authorities are also able to calm, or soften the public outrage.

There have been a number of attacks and murders in the West committed by radical Islamists who later used mental illness to cover up their crimes.

This is how the 31-year-old migrant who stabbed five people to death on a regional train near Aachen, Germany, has managed to avoid a severe punishment. It was only by luck that one of the passengers and an off-duty policeman succeeded in disarming the Iraqi migrant. Authorities used the same method to prevent a young Somali man – who stabbed three women to death in a shopping mall in Würzburg in the summer of 2021 – from receiving a severe sentence. Although witnesses testified that the murderous migrant kept praising Allah during his attack, prosecutors said this was not enough evidence that the migrant had a religious motive.

In 2017, a Muslim man murdered a 66-year-old director of an Orthodox Jewish nursery. The victim, Sarah Halim, was woken from her sleep when the attacker broke into her 3rd-floor apartment in the middle of the night. She was violently beaten, while her assailant kept crying Allah-u Akbar, then dragged her to the window and threw her out, while she was begging for her life. Authorities have repeatedly noted that the Muslim attacker may have been suffering from a so-called „psychotic disorder” as a result of smoking, and they have placed him under specialist treatment. The incident has sparked a huge wave of protests in France.

Mohamed Salmene Lahouaiej-Bouhlel plowed his truck into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day in Nice back in 2016. The attack claimed 86 lives and injured hundreds more. After the incident, his family and the media have argued that the man was mentally ill. The NBC television network claimed that the Nice attacker was not a jihadist, even though the Islamic State terrorist organisation had claimed responsibility for the mass murder.

A year earlier, there was a similar plowing incident in Dijon. A man drove his van into crowds of people in several parts of the city, praising Allah, brandishing a knife and shouting that he was acting „in the name of the children of Palestine.” Although no one was killed in the attacks, many were permanently injured. At the time, the local prosecutor claimed that the incident was not terrorism-related, and that the perpetrator had no religious motives, but was suffering from a mental disorder.

Deporting criminal migrants isn’t too fashionable in Sweden, either. Nothing proves this better than a recent horrific incident that has sparked outrage across the country. A 22-year-old Syrian migrant man was first convicted in court of brutally torturing a pregnant woman. The court ordered his deportation from the country, but later, the Swedish Court of Appeal has reversed the sentence and will allow the migrant to stay in Sweden.

The case is particularly shocking because the court found that the man had hit the pregnant woman with his fists, poured oil over her body and rubbed strong spices into her eyes. On another occasion, he repeatedly punched her in the face and whipped her with a charging cable, but there were also instances of him strangling his girlfriend. The court also found that the man was homeless, unemployed and had a history of offences, which normally strengthens the deportation argument.

The four Eritrean migrants who brutally raped a Swedish woman last June, repeatedly, and even filmed their act, were not deported, either. The prosecutor argued at the time that all four rapists should be deported back home and expelled from Sweden for 15 years. However, the court ruled that all four could stay, even though they were eventually given prison sentences.
