Stranger shoves 91-year-old former Eurotunnel boss onto Tube tracks, arrested for attempted murder
A terrifying CCTV camera footage shows the moment a man tried to murder former Eurotunnel boss by shoving him onto the tracks of the London Underground, just seconds before a train came into the station.
The former Eurotunnel boss, identified as 91-year-old Sir Robert Malpas, said that he felt himself "flying" on to the rails from the platform at Marble Arch after accused, identified as 46-year-old Paul Crossley, pushed him from behind with both hands on April 27, according to the Daily Mail reports. Sir Robert was knighted by the Queen in 1998.
Crossley on Friday was found guilty of attempted murder and the footage was played in the Old Bailey court for the first time. Reports state that the accused was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when he was 17-years-old.
