See the Moment the Times Square Tourist Was Pushed by Passerby

A Serbian sightseer was all smiles just before another tourist knocked her to the ground in Times Square — and her friend captured the exact moment her joy turned to tears.
The pal behind the lens just snapped a picture of the 34-year-old blond, Aleksandra Cvetkovic, at Broadway and W. 46th St. just as Deanne Ostbye suddenly jumped in the frame about 1:20 p.m. Friday.

“You see in the frame the moment just before she was knocked to the ground,” said Jonathan Bloom, whose wife, Ivana Lisavac-Bloom, took the picture.

The attack left Cvetkovic on the ground and bleeding from her head, a wound that would later require three stitches.
Cvetkovic had just arrived to the city from Maryland, where she had been staying with Lisavac-Bloom during her first trip to the United States.

“They were best friends in Serbia,” Bloom said of the two women.
Ostbye, 30, of Tacoma, Wash., was charged with assault and reckless endangerment. She was waiting to be arraigned on Saturday.

Ostbye reasons for pushing Cvetkovic have yet to be revealed.
