Woman shoved onto Tribeca subway tracks in unprovoked attack, pulled back onto platform by good Samaritans

A woman waiting for a subway train in Tribeca was shoved onto the tracks in a harrowing unprovoked attack but pullled back onto the platform by good Samaritans, cops said Wednesday.

The 34-year-old victim had just walked down the stairs to the No. 1/2/3 express platform at the Chambers St. station when a stranger charged at her about 11:10 p.m. Tuesday, shocked witnesses told police.

The assailant shoved the woman off the platform onto the downtown tracks, cops said.

No train was entering the station and other straphangers managed to help the woman get back onto the platform as her attacker stormed off.

The woman was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Lower Manhattan with a minor injury to her leg.
