The 3-year-old girl was waiting for the train with her mother on the platform when a stranger came and shoved her onto the railway line. The attacker has now been identified as 32-year-old Brianna Lace Workman, the attorney's office said.
The girl hit the rocks and metal track face-first after which she had severe headache and a small red mark on her forehead, US media reports said. In the CCTV footage, people on the platform can be seen springing into action, rushing to lift the girl from the train tracks. One man quickly pulled the little girl to safety and onto the platform just before the train arrived. The incident horrified the commuters.
"There's no excuse for that. I don't understand why someone would do something like that," one of the commuters Blaine Danley told NBC.
The attacker was arrested later and has been 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 Multnomah County District Attorney's Office.
