From Setback to Comeback: Helping Older Adults Recover After a Fall

By Kent Ye Physical Therapist, VNS Health  Bronx Voice  July 25, 2025 NEW YORK - Falls can be life-changing—impacting both body and mind. Each year, more than 14 million adults aged 65 and older report having a fall—and once you’ve had one fall, the risk of falling again doubles. Falls are the leading cause of injury in older adults, and while the physical toll can be tough, the emotional toll can hit just as hard.  As a physical therapist working with my patients in their homes, I’ve seen how a single fall can start a vicious cycle: After someone experiences a fall, they become overly cautious and try to avoid moving, worried they’ll fall again just doing everyday things.

BRONX - Yet another straphanger was assaulted in an unprovoked attack in a Bronx subway station. Cops cannot determined an attacker’s eye color because he kept his eyes closed throughout surveillance video in the station.




At around 1:20 on October 13, an 18-year-old man was exiting the northbound Number 6 train at East 138 Street and Alexander Avenue station. As the rider walked across the platform he was followed by a man from the train. The man walked behind the straphanger and punched in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground.  



Cops say the attack was unprovoked and the victim did not know his attacker. 


The victim suffered pain to his neck and head but refused medical attention at the scene. 


Police released surveillance video of the suspect who is seen  ducking under the bar to sneak through the turnstile. In the video the man is making odd faces and kept his eyes closed as he walked through the turnstile. All photos have the man with his closed so his eye color cannot be determined. 




The suspect is described as a male with a dark complexion, medium build, with large black hair and a beard. He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt and black pants. 





This assault is just the latest high-profile subway attack in the Bronx. On October 15, a deranged looking man pushed a straphanger off the platform at at 149th Street and Southern Boulevard just as the Number 6 train pulled into the station. Miraculously the victim was able to duck away from the train and was not injured.  


Police arrested 35-year-old Miguel Ramirez for the attack. 





On October 6, a Citi Field maintenance worker Charles Moore was stabbed to death at the East 176 Street and Jerome Avenue Station platform of the Number 4 train. There was no motive for the brutal stabbing. Police arrested Saquan Lemons for the murder. 


Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
