It was an adult. No one pushed him. I heard the honk at first, I thought it was going to skip stations, and once I saw the stuffy thing from the jacket flying everywhere from the spot. I told my friend "is that trash or a person?" Since I didn't have my glasses.... WORST mistake of my life when I went closer.... I will never forget this night
