A good Samaritan was viciously pushed onto the subway tracks<\/a> Saturday after he intervened in a dispute between two straphangers in upper Manhattan.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old victim was shoved onto the track bed by an unidentified man around 3:52 p.m. at the Dyckman St. station near Riverside Drive and Dyckman St. in Inwood<\/a>. He suffered an injury to his left wrist, cops said.<\/p>\n

The attacker was arguing with a woman when the victim stepped in to try to settle things down. It was unclear what the dispute was about.<\/p>\n

The victim managed to get himself safely back onto the platform. EMS transported him to New York-Presbyterian Hospital Columbia<\/a> hospital, where\u00a0he was in stable condition.<\/p>\n

Police haven\u2019t made an arrest and the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n

The incident comes nearly a week after two men, including an 83-year-old Air Force veteran<\/a>, were randomly pushed onto the tracks at the Lexington Ave.-63rd St. station station on Manhattan\u2019s Upper East Side. The vet, Richard Williams, remains in the hospital in critical condition fighting for his life.<\/p>\n

Bairon Hernandez, 34, was arrested hours later and charged with two counts of first-degree assault. The Honduran native \u2014 who entered the country illegally and has been deported four times<\/a> \u2014 was arrested at a Brooklyn homeless shelter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A good Samaritan was viciously pushed onto the subway tracks Saturday after he intervened in a dispute between…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42877,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[262,263,266,85,267,75,84,83,9,24,264,12,63,261,265],"class_list":["post-163671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-city","tag-county","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-county","tag-news","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-crime","tag-sub-county-region"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163671\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
