A clip of the occurrence, published by the district attorney’s office, shows a mother and her child standing on the MAX platform close to the rails. Both of them have their winter coats on and are facing away from the camera. Then, suddenly, a person in a winter coat sitting nearby leaps up and pushes the girl, whose body slams into the side of the platform before she falls face-first onto the tracks beneath.
A warning: The following video is incredibly upsetting. This shows a child being forced off the MAX train platform at Gateway TC in the Northeast region of Portland on Wednesday night. Please skip the video if you do not like watching the scene.
32-year-old Brianna Workman is now apprehended and jailed.
