A 63-year-old straphanger was injured when a man hurled him onto the rails at a Queens subway station in an unprovoked attack, cops said Monday.
The suspect bizarrely shouted, “Get out,” before shoving the victim as he waited on the southbound F train platform at the Parson Boulevard station in Briarwood around 5:30 a.m. Sunday, according to law enforcement.
The attack caused the victim to fall to the railbed, where he sustained cuts to his head and nose, and bruising to his arms, said police.
Medics rushed the victim to Jamaica Hospital, where he is expected to survive.
The suspect fled the station on foot. He is described as being in his late 30s to early 40s, with a medium build and light-colored facial hair. He was last seen wearing a blue sweater, red pants, black and gray winter hat and a blue face mask under his chin.
Police released images of the suspect and video that shows him crawling under a subway turnstile.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
