A 32-year-old man was suddenly shoved onto the subway tracks of a Manhattan station moments before the train’s arrival.

The unidentified victim was waiting for the southbound N train at the Times Square-42nd Street Station at around 8:20 p.m. Thursday when someone pushed him onto the tracks and ran away.

The man managed to get up and climb back onto the platform before the train passed.
