Good Samaritans plucked a dazed straphanger off the rails on Christmas day after the man was shoved onto the tracks at a Harlem subway station, according to a news report.

The 55-year-old victim was standing on the Brooklyn-bound platform at the 125th Street station around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday when he was pushed off the edge and fell within inches of the third rail, CBS News reported.

“I’m standing right over here and I see the guy fall onto the tracks,” said commuter Kirk Abbot, one of four bystanders who lept into action.

“I had them get down on the tracks,” Abbott said. “I ran to the edge of the platform so I could wave the train down with my flashlight and have the train slow down.”

Dramatic mobile-phone video of the rescue published by CBS shows three men on the tracks lifting the unidentified victim back onto the platform.

“He was in an out of consciousness,” Abbott said. “He still didn’t know what happened to him.”

Police said they later arrested Jose Gonzalez, 54, and charged him with reckless endangerment and assault in the unprovoked attack.

Gonzalez has prior arrests that include petty larceny and possession of a controlled substance.

His most recent arrest before Wednesday was Dec. 20, when he was accused of stealing $170 worth of merchandise from a CVS pharmacy on Broadway and W. 110th Street, police said.
