An 85-year-old man was randomly shoved onto subway tracks by a stranger in Midtown early Wednesday, cops said.
The senior was standing on the southbound B and D train platform at the 47th–50th Streets–Rockefeller Center station around 5:40 a.m. when a younger man pushed him onto the roadbed without saying a word, police said.
Luckily, no trains were entering the station at the time, authorities said.
EMS workers responding to a 911 call about the unprovoked attack pulled the octogenarian up from the tracks, officials said.
He was taken to Mount Sinai West with a cut on his left knee, police said.
Footage released by the NYPD shows the suspect — walking with a gray hooded sweatshirt over his head — passing through the turnstile to leave the station.
The man, described as about 5-foot-8 with a medium complexion and medium build, was also last seen wearing black pants, a black long-sleeved shirt, and carrying a black coat.
The random attack comes just weeks after a stranger shoved an unsuspecting 28-year-old man onto the subway tracks at Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall on Nov. 1, authorities at the time.
He was hospitalized in stable condition, cops said.
In mid-October, a 30-year-old woman was pushed into a departing E train at the Fifth Avenue/53rd Street station, leaving her critically injured.
