A homeless man who fatally pushed a drunken man in front of the Q train in New York has been acquitted of murder. Naeem Davis, 33, was found not guilty of murder, manslaughter and criminal negligent homicide on Monday.
Davis’ lawyer said his client was justified in shoving Ki-Suck Han onto the train tracks before he was crushed under the wheels of the Q train at the W. 49th St. station.
The tragic incident happened on December 3, 2012, when the two men bumped into each other near the turnstiles.
Han, 58, pursued Davis down the stairs, berating and yelling obscenities at him. On the subway platform, Han grabbed Davis by the shoulder and threatened to kill him.
Davis used both hands to shove Han in the chest, sending him sprawling onto the train tracks as the Q train entered the station. Han was too drunk to climb onto the platform.
Bystanders waved frantically for the conductor to stop. A NY Post photographer witnessed the altercation and captured a photo of Han’s final moments for the paper’s front page.
Davis pleaded not guilty by reason of self-defense. He spent 5 years behind bars without bail while awaiting his trial.
“I’m thankful for my freedom,” said Davis outside Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday.
Soooo the camera man had enough time to take a picture but coudnnt grab onto the man and pull em up?…..anyways people keep your hands to yourself.
Moral of the story: Keep your hands to yourself. Or else..
Welp, I guess if the deceased man put hands on dude he had a right to defend himself. He just didn’t know pushing him so hard would land him on the tracks. Maybe he’ll use this saving grace to get his life together.
Tragic situat5in. I imagine he had a Public defender. I applaud the attorney for taking this case seriously and working hard to defend a homeless person. Everyone deserves justice.
So sad…you would thinks someone that close could have helped.
Well aright now! About time a black man won a case using the self defense plea. After 5 years in jail while waiting on his trial…I wonder if he will go back to being homeless or if he can enter a transition program of some kind.
It was self defense… At least 1 black man was able to get justice.
5 years without bail?? Wow…on the other hand, OJ should have done this and he would still be doing Hertz commercials!
I know he’s glad that’s over. The right verdict comes ever so often.
Folks waving for the conductor to stop—other folks snapping pics–NOBODY tried to grab the man and pull him out???!
Glad a brother got justice. But 5 yrs no bail?? Whew. That in itself was punishment.
I pray that I am never in need of the publics help when it comes to my health and safety. Folks will see you to your death for one measly “like”. OAN had he kept his hands to himself he’d be here today.
Scary situation. Maybe he was scared he would get pulled in…. when I take the subway,especially with my children, we walk so far away from the tracks. I’m sorry to say (and god forgive me) I would not want to be that hero, risking my life to save another’s fallen onto train tracks with a train approaching. I wouldn’t photograph that either.
Unfortunately, his experience in jail for the last five years may put a heavy toll on his psychological health. No justice there.
He had the right angle and all! New York Post should be ashamed for posting this pic. It’s folks like TMZ or Worldstar that condone this behavior.
5 years behind bars as an innocent man…… happens too often Amerikkka
5 years though????
Speaking of OJ, if he gets released this week, what side do you think he’ll return to—Black or White?
Same thing I was thinking…. all of that
Doesn’t matter… neither will take him
Lol!
Yes 5 years awaiting trial meaning he didn’t have the bail money, he is a homeless man. All of it is very sad. People can’t even stand being in jail five minutes let alone five years. The man obviously didn’t deserve to die but I hate drunk people.
Now SUE.
*side note* So while other people were trying to help the Post photographer just stood there taking pictures? Trash.
“He spent 5 years behind bars without bail while awaiting his trial.”
——
They took away 5 years of his life. He should definitely sue.
Not guilty but still spent five years in jail… I hope he sues, gets a shyt-load of money then does like Prison Bae and turns his life around….
The white people can have him.
You know he’s going to get with a white woman anyway. That’s his type.
Again, there’s hardly ever any justice in this country. This sicko should be in prison for life. I try to be very cautious when riding the train, never get to close to the tracks. People are more psycho than ever these days. These train stations need more police officers within the stations. Sad for this man’s family who I’m sure still grieve their loss.
It’s not that easy to pull somebody up, especially if they’re drunk. If you lose your balance you’ll be down on the train tracks with them in a second.
I feel for the dude, but I wouldn’t take that chance with a train rolling into the station like that.
I just don’t see any reason he had to push that man towards the tracks. He knew what he was doing. He could have shoved he the other way
His client was justified in shoving Han?! Is Davis going to use that excuse on judgment day?!
Thank you!
I’m not understanding the self-defense part. How is pushing someone on the tracks self-defense??? If I’m in the train station and I see someone drunk or talking to themselves or anything else suspect, I move far away from them, period.
In other news, Han quit drinking that night.
He did move away but the drunk followed & harassed him.
LOLLOLLOL!!!!!!!!!
“These train stations need more police officers within the stations.” Be careful what you ask for, NYPD aint friendly and will likely kill you before they protect you.
“Han grabbed Davis by the shoulder and threatened to kill him. Davis used both hands to shove Han in the chest”
———–
That’s called self-defense. That’s not murder.
Have you ever been to NY? Coming from someone that has been followed while alone twice, you do whatever you can to get someone off your back.
But to be fair; if someone grabs you; you’re not going to take the time to think-which way should I shove him? You just going to get HIM/her the hell off of you. IMO

Exactly. And when somebody threatens to kill you, you dont know if they’re about to pull out a knife, gun, or whatever. You’re just going to react immediately to get them off you.
Officially my favorite poster.
Right? That sure wasn’t a speedy trial.
Lol!
I would have been afraid that drunk would pull me onto the tracks while I was trying to save him.
OT: Somebody recently responded to a SR comment that I posted last YEAR!!
I mean they went IN on me for a comment I made a year ago—in 2016…..lawddddd.
Now I don’t feel so bad when I respond to comments from last month. God knows I’ll respond late to a comment in a minute…but a whole year??!!
LOLOLOLOL….I love this blog.
You know…I thought about that later. You’re right!
I have a cousin that was a lifeguard–he said he quit when he saved a teenager–and she was so freaked out she kept fighting him and the water–and almost drowned them both.
Maybe they didn’t look at the date? ?
Sad story all around. I’m so glad that I don’t live in NY or have to rely on public transportation. Some of the creepiest and most unstable people, can be found on public transportation.
Right! It’s like when folks shove people and the person falls and hits their head on the curb, or the edge of a coffee table.
Yes, I have, but not recently. My cousin would love for me to visit again but the environment is a bit much: the attitudes, rodents, and now the subway drama, no thanks. I like being a good mood and being around nice people when I travel. Of the times in the past when I traveled to New York, no one bothered me other than men trying to hit on me, but there were plenty of folks with disgusting attitudes. I’m southern, but I can’t be nice to someone who’s not nice to me. You can’t ask nobody shit in New York, it’s every man for himself. But when I go overseas, I meet some of the nicest people imaginable, truly a blessing. I’ll visit NY again eventually, but usually when I have the option to go somewhere else, I take it. I guess riding the train in NY has gotten worse over the years. I’ve ridden the train in other cities with no issues other than panhandling and being hit on.
Imagine trying to pull Ned The Wino up from the tracks.
Oh okay. I had a situation when I was in Vancouver, BC. An aggressive homeless guy followed me up the escalator while I was in the mall. He kept asking me for money. I kept saying no. He was about to get pushed down the escalator! These homeless people have become impossible to deal with all over the world it seems.
So if the guy that died on the tracks in NY was drunk, then I guess the other guy did what he felt was necessary. I still think public places need more security.
Truth be told her did pay for his crime…5 years no ball..
Goodness! I haven’t been to NY in awhile but I read the news about the city. Sad. But I don’t think the NYPD have ever had the best reputation, just like LAPD.
Is there any security in the NY train stations??? I haven’t been in so long but don’t remember seeing police or security officers even back then.
He did 5 years waiting trail.. No ball ???
This sounds like a foreign country…Locked up Abroad or something. It doesn’t take five years to get a trial in America.
someone sent this to the Post …it wasnt their photog
Lady it was a reflex and you don’t know where Hans was in relation to Davis when Davis pushed back.
Davis could never have seen Hans just felt the shove and reacted.
Whang?
The people on Hans’ side didn’t bother to read the story.
SHUG!!!
Lemme do that dance that always gets you hawt:

Who engages with the homeless? bye
Generally, whenever I’m in Manhattan, I take a taxi, everywhere. The few times I rode the subway, I came through that bisch like the secret service: dark glasses, on high alert, and armed.
Lmaoooooo!!!!!
Shut it
why 5 years with no bail and no court date? he was homeless so he was not a flight risk. if the tapes of the incident in question has been open since why did he still have to wait five years? was his civil rights violated? can this man expect a money settlement? seems his 5 years in prison was punishment. how many other non black non homeless people in the same situation spent 5 years in jail with no bail?
From the article: A NY Post photographer witnessed the altercation and captured a photo of Han’s final moments for the paper’s front page.
Weird question
Being that he’s homeless wouldn’t jail be better in his case. Free food, free education , health care , a bed etc, I’m just saying
He’s happy for his freedom, why????? winter is around the corner he’ll be sleeping in the cold broke and hungry
??
Obviously it does!!!
Ask Khalif Browder about what Good ole America can do?? Oops, you can’t.. He was so traumatized by his stint in jail that he killed himself..??
At ALL
Obviously you didn’t read the story!!!
Because jail is harsh. You’re dealing with other inmates, some bonafide crazy, fights and worse. Plus I’d imagine that losing the ability to go where you want, when you want and being trapped would suck, even if you were homeless.
Homelessness is better than being locked up with NO freedom
And at the end of the day his drunk ass should’ve left him alone. Following him and shoving him was what got his belligerent ass killed.
Would you rather be in jail??
Glad I don’t live in the United States of America. That placed is f#@ked!!
LMFAO!!!
Guess you didn’t read the entire post.
Truth!!!
Also I take issue with the Post’s headline implying that this was some innocent person who was shoved into the tracks by an angry black man. The lesson here kids is don’t drink and antagonize strangers, following and yelling at them threatening to kill them. A third-rate tabloid can’t bring you back from death.
You have time explaining to people who lack common sense. Don’t waste your time…
It took 5 years?!!!
Consequence of celebrity status on here.
Wow .. thank God hes free sounds like the dude went ham on him. He had to do what he had to do. God bless the dead tho ?
this story is tragic. get the man off you. pushing him onto train tracks seems extreme.
That is a weird question titi.. u should watch the documentary “the kalief browder story. Or any thing on being locked up in prison.
You right. Its apart of the master plan to keep brothers locked up. Some people wait on rikers island for a whole year before they even get a hearing date.
??? You called that engaging .. lol I have tho
Exactly I hate public transportation your right
He may have pulled you down as well..js
I did, I’m was talking about his Judgement Day when he stands before Jehovah God.
So basically this black man served time. Waiting on a trial for five years with no bail? Gtfoh…
Why should I!?!?
That still don’t mean he had to push him towards the tracks. I understand that a reactionay have happened, I’m not understanding why that way when you know there’s a chance someone could get killed. I feel (this is my opinion) if he had any regard for life he wouldn’t have push him towards the tracks
Yeah I get that but you catch the subway everyday it’s still not an excuse. It’s like someone at a bus stop pushing someone into traffic when you could have easily pushed them aside, it’s just my opinion.
HE’S SAFE FROM CHOO-CHOO TRAINS THERE!
HE’LL TAKE ‘L’ TRAIN INTO HELL !
HE TAKES UP CABOOSE POSITION WHILE BLOWIN’ OFF steVAm!
The video footage was so sad. They used that poor man as a punching bag.
The man was a drunken old man. If you can’t handle someone like that as a man then thats a problem
Exactly
LHHA…. Karlie said you got on sequence and I have in jewels. Know the difference bitch….
YES.. I’M HERE FOR IT.
Denied due process and cleary labeled as guilty at arraignment.
God bless you. Jail is not Job Corp. The food is not fine cuisine. You are treated as an animal with no rights under constant guard. There is no education and minimal healthcare. Jails are overcrowded, so a mat has to do sometimes. I learned this from Lockup Raw and Orange is the New Black.
That’s how you have to move around the loop these days too.
Dirty summa ???
why didn’t the photog help the man. why did this guy have to wait 5 years for a trial. why do black people still live in new York. its garbage. I understand that us (African Americans) have been there for eons. but its over. leave it to the foreigners. if you work there stay in a hotel or take a plane until you can move somewhere that’s not so worked over. there is no justice in new York. the judges, lawyers, and co[ps are a team of cant get over jobs so they squeeze the populace.
lol dime said she looked lk a majorette??
good
sad
I needed the laugh. That made my night after a crazy day with an 8month old. I’m so ready to put her in school and go back to work. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1542b8012f85755ceb033061d4912273615b8c79690f2b5a97a9f8acc894e6a9.jpg
I’m not homeless
Gawd its 10:50pm here on the West. I’m already dredding getting up in the morning to go to work, SMH. Need to win Lotto or somethin, i.e. long lost relative left some inheritance money or any kind of settlement, I just need an OUT!!!
i was howling!!!!!!! dime got her
They’re people too, just in unfortunate circumstances. Be careful who you down.
I feel you
Well at least you don’t have to worry about your boss and his team lead trying to fire you when you do your job above and beyond
And they forging papers
Team lead lied on me wrote a statement saying lies and bossy wrote the write up
The victim was drunk so he obviously was not 100% physically and that was his fault.
Well I’m in Canada. the jails here spoil these fools that some of them even breach on purpose
The victim was drunk so what would have been a shove to someone who was sober ended up as a push, but don’t hold the victim responsible for his own actions.
Mike Vick post please. I have anger as it IS. Stupid prick
I can’t with that fawktard!
Random: Something is truly wrong with Jackie Christie.
Hey hun. How you been. His dog killing ass. We rode for him. this is the thanks we get? I hope his herpes is acting up and continues to do so. I hope he has numerous outbreaks for that shit he said.
I’m good baby cakes. How are you? Yes, we did ride for his ass, and now the dumb ass done picked up on the Uncle Tom shuffle. I’d wish that a Pit Bull would bite him on his peen, but I fear for the dog’s safety. Damn peen got break outs and is prolly leaking acid. Nasty ass.
She legit cray cray
He’s officially part of the Coon Squad
I think that chick needs to be committed.
I’m DYING!!! Herpes face
I dont even USE that word. Everyone who a long time poster here knows I dont. But he went full coon on that mess. Not half coon. Full.
Damn
And been wrong with her every since she beat Rick Fox ass with her pocketbook. Lakers vs. Kings. 2002. #NeverForget
Right…I guess nobody asked for a fast a speedy trial
I just Googled, and I hate that I lub you. *crying*
He still had a right to a fast and speedy trial under due process…as a citizen we all have that right regardless of bail
She probably on meds…she surely can’t handle her alcohol and it only takes a little bit…I can’t tell if she’s being extra messy for the show or if she really just likes to keep drama going
Yes he is…ole step and fetch nicca…he was just hanging dogs like ten years ago and now he wanna be the spokesperson for non-woke nicca anonymous…regardless of what he do he will always be known as Ron Mexico (the herp whisperer) and a dog killer…
She wore Foxy ass OUT with that purse. This was pre-You Tube. And before the masses knew who she was. And got familiar with her crazy. I am so blessed to be the huge basketball fan that I am and to have seen it live.
Ronnie Mex can choke on a Valtrex. He is dead to me after this. He will not be missed. He the only reason I EVER accepted Virginia Tech into the ACC. They asses can manage to die now too.
How he tell him it was the hair when Mike got a LARGE contract with cornrolls. He cleaned up for court not the field. Seriously hypocritical
If he wanted his image to change that bad after doing time and that’s his business…. but to come for Colin he done lost his mind! Colin is a MAN who is actually standing for something and putting his beliefs at the forefront while not worrying about a dollar. Why should he cut his hair or put his advocacy to the side for the funky azz NFL? He can have success in other areas because he’s a man of integrity.
Jail is no fun and far from being a 5-star resort. I was in for assault and locked in a pod with a b!tch who murdered her husband and I had to be chained for an hour to another broad who murdered her 2-year-old son & set his body on fire. They make no separations in jail and don’t get me started on the slop they serve. The flavored sugar drink has also been rumored to cause infertility. I haven’t even scratched the surface. I’d take homelessness for $200 Alex.
Wait what….lmaooo goes to find story
She was like I need some gin. I did a double take. Since when Jackie drink white? She a HUGE lover of brown. Specifically Henny. Or wine. I could
be mistaken. But even my daughter caught that. History of the show never heard her say not anything about any kind of white. The fact she switches like that is an indicator she might have issues with drank. Folks who I know…they drank what they drank and do not switch it up like that.
Between that Doug Christie uppercut and her and that purse. Jeez!!!!!!!!!! *tears*
It STILL brings me joy. 15 entire years later. I have been lucky enough to catch A LOT of ball fukkery live. That is in my top 3. Vince Slam Dunk 2000. Jackie Christie/Rick fox 2002. The Malice at the Palace 2004. Gems. All of em.
Complain to HR. I had this hapoen to me once. And i just walked off. Told them im not signing nothing i dont agree with. Later on the actual director was demoted and later let go. Team lead fired was caught in a lie. So it maybe for your good, better is around the kona. .. keep ya head up

True…yes she was a cognac lover. they said something about her drinking on the show a couple of times but she hasn’t slowed her drinking down one bit. I remember when she came out with her own cognac line and all the other ladies tasted it and thought is was like drinking gasoline LMAO

Okay so Im not imagining stuff. Not only did she need gin…hoe needed two shots of it. Do better Jackie. Seek help. If you cant find help at Charter…please find help somewhere.

She’s a cutie pie
She’s a cutie pie
She has deep rooted issues that need to be worked out she needs rehab,counseling, and a life coach.

He gets the Coon of the Month Award.
LOL why she hit him?
Speedy trial? I think not.
Mike Vick is a puppet. He’s truly a broken Black man after jail and God knows what else they did to him to atone for killing those dogs. (The dog jail time was actually because he allegedly was rude to some friends of the owners of the Falcons…seriously.)
But after he defended Riley Cooper I knew he’d be compromised. He’ll say whatever they tell him to say to stay out of trouble. He gets a big “Negro, Please” on this one.
“Mike Vick says sticking up for Riley Cooper was the ‘best thing I’ve done as a professional athlete'”

Obviously we are not gonna agree, and that’s ok I’m not gonna get into a long drawn-out conversation about this. God bless the dead and you too.
He can sue if the delay was the DA fault and not his defense putting it off.
I believe he can sue if the delay was on the DA and not his team dont quote me though its been awhile.
Sometimes your legal team does this so you do time in the county instead of million miles away in a state house jail. Its time served as well so he if got a reduced sentence on the neglect only charge he be walking out as well.
Her name is Renee ?
Awww!!!
If he can he certainly should
The photographer was able to take a picture but didn’t offer to help
Thanks Hr does nothing
Boss has been picking on me forever
Thank you for the encouragement
This over bumping into someone? Jesus Christ. I’m glad I say excuse me to everyone; it’s just a natural instinct for me to apologize and then just keep it moving.
HA!!! Aint’t that something? Happens often.
Does Doug see it or no?
Was this for real? LOL.. I have to look this one up.
He still paid for it. 5 years worth of his life
Canada is an example for healthcare as well.
I just read that he was going to a nice restaurant w/ his legal team after he was released and then he was going to Paris to spend time w/ family.
LMAO
Amen.
Wrong. Just wrong
Smart move.
Ned the Wino from Good Times? Lemme found out…
I think he’s going to try to make nice w/ Kris Jenner seeing how that fam BLEW UP! If she can make a penny off his azz she’ll hook him up with a show or something on the low. I’m just waiting for him to act a fool (won’t be long) and entertain me again.
And every last Becky can haaaavvvvveeee him. Ain’t none of us touching that. Go on Orenthal.
And that’s for all the time.
Hahaha yes, Nyer’s are very rude and nasty by nature. And you do have to keep your head on a swivel. In regards to avoiding trouble, that’s easier said than done.
I thank God for his freedom also ….AMEN
he sure does see it and there must be something wrong with him also …. I love her crazy arse doesn’t work for me either … why do her children cry foul but doug looks like its all good …at this point he has HAD to see at least one of her crazy episodes …. i’m looking at him sideways too
Lol, yup.
LOL.. love it.
Baby, you ain’t never lied! I used to go downtown to relax and unwind. Those days are gone.
People get killed for less in NYC. Too many rude and crazy people running around.
Hope his ass is deported back to where he came from
Is that a yes or a no? Would you rather be in jail? That was the question.
That day would never come. I see you are not a free thinker.
LMAO hey boo *kissy face*
I absolutely agree! That’s just bullshit, 5 years and innocent he should get 100
Million dollars!
