The medical examiner’s office has yet to determine the official cause of death. Consequently, the charges the suspect may face remain uncertain at this time.

Sources indicate that the incident began when the victim accidentally bumped into the suspect, escalating into a verbal dispute.

According to reports, the suspect struck the man in the face before fleeing the scene.

Police discovered the victim unconscious and unresponsive at the station shortly before 7 p.m., officials confirmed.

EMS rushed the man to Lenox Hill Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, according to authorities.
