A pensioner was captured on CCTV pushing an unsuspecting stranger in front of the Bakerloo line at Piccadilly Circus on 10 November, last year.
The horrifying CCTV footage showed Yoshiyuki Shinohara, 82, dart over to the victim, Sheetal Kerai, 32, pushing her over the platform edge only seconds before a train arrived.
Ms Kerai is then seen to collide with the side of the train and lands back on to the platform. Fortunately for Ms Kerai, she escaped the incident with minor injuries.
The jury at Blackfriars Crown Court found Shinohara did the act, but the Japanese national was deemed unfit to answer a charge of attempted murder and a report into his medical health is currently being prepared.
Judge John Hillen refrained from making an order due to Shinohara’s disability. The trial will continue on May 27.
