Seattle: Man shoving a passenger as a light rail train approaches at the Northgate station
Elisio Melendez is accused of attacking a man on Mar. 19 at the Northgate light rail station, according to charging documents filed in King County Superior Court.
Prosecutors allege Melendez approached the victim from behind as a train entered the station and attempted to shove him onto the tracks.
The victim was able to regain his balance and avoid falling, despite being pushed twice, court records state.
Surveillance footage cited in the documents shows the suspect appeared to time the attack to coincide with the train’s arrival, “making it clear that his goal was to inflict maximum harm,” prosecutors wrote.
Melendez fled the station after the incident, authorities said. Investigators later identified him through video footage and located him at a nearby residential treatment facility, where he was arrested on March 24.
During an interview with detectives, Melendez denied involvement, suggesting someone else may have been wearing his clothes, according to the probable cause statement. When confronted by investigators about the incident, Melendez reportedly said, "Maybe that was my twin that I don’t have.”
Prosecutors have asked that bail be set at $750,000, citing concerns that Melendez poses a danger to the public and may fail to appear in court.
Court records indicate Melendez has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and has a documented history of mental health treatment. He previously faced a 2019 domestic violence assault charge involving an alleged incident where his sister was stabbed in the stomach, though that case was eventually dismissed two years later in 2021 after Melendez was found not competent to stand trial. He also has an outstanding warrant in a separate misdemeanor assault case where he allegedly punched a woman at church unprovoked in 2018, prosecutors said.
Thank god that man didn’t die bc that criminal would NOT have been jailed considering his mental illness
Clearly, he is an intractable psychopath who needs to be removed from society for the rest of his life.
Then WHO keeps letting him out of a "treatment" facility? The liberals that's who!
Lock these whack-a-doodles up!

Why did the african american gentleman try to kill the white gentleman?

They are low iq soulless demonic creatures and must be dealt with. The US is only for White people, Nationality Act of 1790
Sidestepping him and watching him come apart under the train would cause me to have a Druid fascination. With that one eyebrow up thing like Spock.
He's only done 2 serious life threatning crimes, give himea chance to at least kill someone so he can get locked up for a couple months. Scum like that should be shot, no questions asked.
Build many insane asylums pack em to the rafters!
Then…..chain the doors and set em on fire!
