Elderly man shoved to Brooklyn subway tracks in random attack
A man was shoved to the tracks in an unprovoked Brooklyn attack on Sunday, police sources said.
The 66-year-old victim was waiting for a Manhattan-bound No. 2 train at the President Street–Medgar Evers College station in Crown Heights when a man pushed him off the platform around 3 p.m., cops said.
The victim did not come into contact with a train or the electrified third rail, but suffered minor injuries when he fell to the trackbed. He was taken to New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in stable condition.
The victim and his attacker don’t know each other, sources said.
Police were still searching for the culprit Sunday afternoon.
