WI Daughter Left In Coma After Saving Mother Pushed On ATL Train Tracks By “Stranger”

MILWAUKEE, WI. (THECOUNT) — Milwaukee woman, Katie Wenszell, has been identified as the victim run over by a train in Atlanta, after investigators say a stranger pushed her mother, Susan Wenszell, onto the train tracks as the train approached.

Wenszell, 28, snapped into action, saving her mother’s life, after “stranger,” Christopher Brooklin, pushed the woman on the tracks at Atlanta’s Midtown MARTA station. In the process, she has been left fighting for her own life in an area hospital.

The women were traveling at Atlanta’s Midtown MARTA station when police say Brooklin, 28, pushed Susan Wenszell onto the tracks for an unknown reason.

The train went over Katie and Susan Wenszell, and Katie was wearing a backpack.

“She was caught and beaten between the railroad tracks and the undercarriage of the vehicle,” said Jerry Wenszell, the victim’s father.

Katie and four of her sisters were in Atlanta with their mother for a girl’s trip when the unthinkable happened. It was supposed to be a memorable trip, but the memories made weren’t what the family ever expected. source

Katie was dragged and critically injured, while her mother was OK. She’s fighting for her life at an Atlanta hospital, in a medically-induced coma, with broken bones in her face and a severely injured shoulder. Additionally, part of her foot had to be amputated.

Her father called her a hero.
