CONFESSION - Suspect accused of pushing man under train confesses in jailhouse interview

The man accused of pushing a DART passenger onto the tracks confessed to FOX 4 from jail.

Anthony Davis is charged with aggravated assault.

The incident happened last Monday night at the Morell Station near the Dallas Zoo.

Davis tells FOX 4 he was under the influence of alcohol and marijuana at the time. He claims the man he assaulted was arguing with a DART attendant. He says he didn't like the way the man was speaking to the woman, so he intervened by assaulting him.

Davis says he now regrets his actions.

"I'm sorry man. I can't. I know things can't get better, but hopefully things can get fixed,” he said. “I just wish I wasn't under the influence of alcohol and I wish I cared at the moment and cared for the guy."

Firefighters had to use special equipment to free the man trapped under the train. He is still recovering from his injuries in the hospital.

Davis tells FOX 4 he is ready to face the consequences.
