San Diego police are looking for a suspect who shoved another man into an oncoming train at a transit station early Saturday morning.

The suspect, who fled on another train, is described as between 5 feet 7 and 5 feet 9 inches with a thin build. He was wearing all black clothing at the time of the incident, police said.
