A senior citizen is recovering from injuries suffered when she was hurled off a subway platform in New York City this weekend, according to reports.

The horrifying incident unfolded at around 11:30 a.m. on Saturday in Manhattan.

A 70-year-old woman was waiting at the 57th Street and 7th Avenue station in Midtown when a stranger threw her onto the tracks.

Good Samaritans jumped into action and pulled her back onto the platform before a train arrived.

The victim was taken to Cornell Hospital in stable condition where she was treated for a head injury.

Authorities arrested an unidentified suspect who was known to them as an “emotionally disturbed person,” sources told the New York Post.

“You also have a lot of homeless on the train,” a local resident stated.

“But we have to go to work, so we have to take the train and I’m always looking straight to God to protect me.”

At least 15 people have been shoved off NYC subway platforms so far this year, according to Saritha Komatireddy, a prosecutor running for New York Attorney General.

“New Yorkers are tired of wondering if they’ll make it home safely after getting on a train. It’s time for an Attorney General who will put victims first and work hand-in-hand with law enforcement to make our subways safe again,” Komatireddy stated.
