Footage captures the horrific moment a nut fatally shoved a beloved 76-year-old former teacher down a flight of concrete stairs at a Manhattan subway station.
The deeply disturbing clip shows retired elderly educator Ross Falzone walking toward the 18th Street subway station in Chelsea around 3:30 p.m. Thursday when his attacker walks up behind him without warning and pushes him with both hands — sending the helpless victim plummeting to his death.
The flailing victim disappears into the lights at the bottom of the stairs — and was later pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital after suffering a severe head injury.
After the attack, his accused killer is seen casually walking away and even signals traffic to stop as he crosses the street and disappears into the night.
Police later charged Rhamell Burke, a 32-year-old onetime successful Broadway dancer, with murder in the senseless attack. He is being held without bail at Rikers Island.
The goon initially appeared in court just hours after the fatal shove on an unrelated assault case — but walked free when no one recognized him from surveillance footage.
He was later spotted at Penn Station and arrested in Falcone’s death.
