Noel Rosado, 19, was arrested Friday afternoon on recommended charges of murder, manslaughter, robbery, gang assault and assault in the incident that led to Roland Hueston’s death, the New York Police Department said.
CNN has contacted the Manhattan district attorney’s office to ask about Rosado’s charges. CNN’s attempts to reach legal representation for Rosado weren’t immediately successful.
Police said a group of people displayed a knife and assaulted a 38-year-old man on a platform at the Fordham Road subway station in the Bronx around 2:40 a.m. on January 1.
At some point, the man fell onto the roadbed where the tracks are as a train approached, according to police.
Hueston, 36, of the Bronx, tried to help the man from the tracks, but was “subsequently struck by the oncoming train, causing (Hueston’s) death,” police said in a news release.
The train didn’t strike the assault victim, who was eventually treated at a hospital for a broken arm and released, according to police.
Three other male teenagers, a 16-year-old and two 17-year-olds, were arrested in January in connection with the incident, according to NYPD. At the time, each was held on recommended charges including murder, robbery, gang assault and assault.
The attack was one of several in the New York subway system that police were investigating early this year.
