A Westville woman pleaded guilty Wednesday to assaulting her boyfriend in November on a New Jersey Transit light rail train in Camden.

Lisa Alyounes, 26, will be sentenced April 27 for aggravated assault and resisting arrest.

Alyounes admitted she pushed her boyfriend from a platform onto the tracks while a train was approaching a station on New Jersey Transit's Riverline light rail in Camden. He was not injured, and the two boarded the train.

Alyounes then beat the victim in the rail car as another passenger recorded the assault, authorities said. The video went viral on YouTube.

She was arrested by Transit Police at the Riverline station on 36th Street in Pennsauken and later acknowledged fighting with them on the platform. Alyounes is expected to be sentenced to 120 days in the Camden County Jail and probation.
