Assault victim barely escapes oncoming train

As though in a scene from an old silent movie, James Tramondo woke from a concussion to find himself on the tracks at the Wantagh train station as a locomotive bore down on him.
Barely conscious, Tramondo had trouble comprehending what was happening early Sunday, he recalled Tuesday. Then he heard people yelling on the train platform.
'I just remember seeing lights,' Tramondo said. 'I heard them screaming, 'The train is coming! The train is coming! Get off the tracks!''
Two strangers helped him escape, and Tramondo was treated later at New Island Hospital in Bethpage for cuts and bruises. But first he helped police find two of the three men he said pushed him off the platform.
Anthony Riggio, 20, and his brother, Nicholas Riggio, 24, who live together in Bellmore, were arraigned Monday on assault charges. Both pleaded not guilty and were released from custody. When reached at their home Monday, Anthony Riggio declined to comment.
On Tuesday, Tramondo, 32, an event planner from Wantagh, still was trying to make sense of what happened.
He boarded the 1:43 a.m. train from Penn Station on Sunday after dining with friends in Astoria, he said. On the train, he chatted with two teenagers while Anthony Riggio and his girlfriend argued nearby.
When the teenagers giggled, Riggio came over and grabbed them angrily, Tramondo said.
'You're drunk,' Tramondo said he told Riggio. 'Sit down.'
Tramondo said Riggio called someone from his cell phone and asked the person to meet him at the Wantagh station. Tramondo moved to another car, he said, and Riggio followed. 'I asked the conductors to get him away from me,' he said. 'They said, 'Don't worry about it.''
LIRR spokeswoman Susan McGowan said the incident is under investigation. Under LIRR policy, police should be called if a passenger is harassed and crew members cannot resolve the problem, she said.
Tramondo said two men met Riggio at the Wantagh station platform at 2:38 a.m. and began punching him.
'I curled myself in a ball and next thing I know, they were throwing me onto the train tracks,' he said. 'I'm not even a fighter. I play at weddings.'
Witnesses called police, who arrived as Tramondo was being helped off the tracks, he said. He said he helped police scour the area and spotted the Riggio brothers leaving a bar.
Still feeling dizzy on Monday, Tramondo went back to the hospital, where doctors said he had a concussion, he said.
