"I just started running, running, hoping that the driver could see my flash," the newspaper quoted him as saying.

"In that moment, I just wanted to warn the train -- to try and save a life," the Post quoted him as saying.

照片中的这名男子背对着镜头，绝望地用手抓住地铁站台，站在铁轨上，眼睛直视冲他驶来的地铁列车。

这一场景令人恐惧，也让人揪心。报道辛辣而又爱哗众取宠的《纽约邮报》由于在头版刊登了这一照片，也引发了人们对它的批评。

为什么摄影师不过去帮忙？为什么这家报纸刊登这张照片？

有人在推特上写道：“《纽约邮报》在头版刊登了一张一名乘客即将被地铁列车碾碎的照片，它应为滥用人性而感到羞耻。这种残酷的行为何时才能终止？”

另一名用户写道：“太恶心了。”

本周一，58岁的韩基石在纽约时代广场附近的一处地铁站台上被人推了下去，自由摄影师奥马尔•阿巴西拍下这一场景。
