Woman Hit By Train After Her Boyfriend Pushed Her Onto Subway Tracks In Lower Manhattan

A 30-year-old woman was critically injured Wednesday when a stranger randomly shoved her into a moving train at a Manhattan subway station, cops and sources said.

The victim hit her head on the departing downtown E train and then tumbled onto the roadbed at the Fifth Avenue/53rd Street station just after noon, according to the NYPD and police sources.

The suspect was mumbling to himself as he pushed her into the train, the sources said.

He was identified by NYPD Transit Chief Michael Kemper as Sabir Jones, 39, a man with an apparent history of mental illness who remained on the loose late Wednesday.

After the attacker suddenly shoved the woman, someone “immediately” called 911 as other good Samaritans helped pull her back up onto the platform, Kemper said at a press briefing.

The young woman – who was either coming or going from work at the time of the attack – was taken to New York Presbyterian Hospital, where she was listed in critical condition, cops said.
