A woman was run over by a train when she fell onto the Brooklyn subway tracks on Sunday afternoon, authorities said.

The woman fell onto the tracks as a Manhattan-bound C train came barrelling into the High Street — Brooklyn Bridge station in Downtown Brooklyn around 2 p.m.

“I was up here [on the street] waiting for my son. I just saw them carry a lady out on a stretcher,” said Gahad Elzayat, 42, who is in town from Detroit to see his son.

“There was no blood on her face. Her eyes were closed. She had a neck brace. She wasn’t groaning or anything. She wasn’t moving at all.”

The 40-year-old victim was removed from underneath the train and rushed to New York Methodist Hospital in stable condition, police said.

It was not immediately clear what caused her to fall.
