Brianna Lace Workman, 32, is accused of shoving the child face-first onto the tracks of the Gateway Transit Center MAX platform in Northeast Portland without “provocation.” In the video, you can see a bystander rescuing the child from the tracks before a train came.
According to the sheriff department, the 3-year-old only suffered a severe headache and a red mark on their forehead from hitting their face on the track.
“There’s no excuse for that. I don’t understand why someone would do something like that,” MAX rider Blaine Danley said while speaking on the incident.
Workman was charged with attempted assault in the first degree, assault in the third degree, interfering with public transportation, disorderly conduct in the second degree and recklessly endangering another person.
According to multiple reports the child didn’t do anything to provoke this attack.
