The German-born woman was hit but survived. Jose Rojas, 25, was held without bail after his arraignment Thursday on attempted murder and assault charges, while victim Ute Linhart, a fashion industry executive, was hospitalized with broken ribs, a crushed sinus cavity and other injuries.

Rojas menaced another man on a Manhattan subway platform Wednesday night before walking up to Linhart, according to a court complaint. Then she was suddenly shoved forcefully into a northbound train rushing into the 28th Street station, the complaint said. The impact hurled her back toward the platform.
