A stranger shoved a 66-year-old man onto the train tracks in an unprovoked attack at a Brooklyn subway station Sunday — but the victim was able to scramble to safety before a train arrived, cops said.
The male assailant pushed the victim without any prior interaction around 3 p.m. on the 2 line at the President Street station in Crown Heights, police said.
The victim made no contact with a train or third-rail on the roadbed and was helped back on the platform by bystanders.
He suffered minor injuries to his wrist and torso and was transported to NewYork Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, according to authorities.
The victim was able to reach the platform safely before a train arrived, the NYPD said. Gabriella Bass
