A stranger shoved a 64-year-old man onto the Union Square subway tracks Wednesday amid a dispute, NYPD officials said.
The victim was standing on the platform at the station on 14th Street when he said something to another man about being too loud, police said. That’s when the man pushed him onto the tracks and took off.
The victim fell onto the track bed and suffered a cut to the hand.
The subway power was cut and the victim was brought back up to the platform. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, police sources said.
The pusher was described as a male wearing a black hat and a Chicago Bulls sweater, the sources said.
“We had a dispute go on between two men,” NYPD Transit Bureau Chief Edward Delatorre said. “One person was being loud and the other one engaged him basically because he was being loud and that person then shoved him on the tracks and fled. We’re reviewing video. We’ll catch him.”
