New York police are searching for a man accused of forcefully shoving a stranger onto subway tracks in Brooklyn.

The alleged assault happened at 2:40 p.m. Friday afternoon at the Wyckoff and Myrtle avenues subway station. 

Police say an unidentified man was standing on the northbound platform and intentionally, without being provoked, charged at a 32-year-old man who was walking by, showing him onto the subway tracks. The victim was not struck by the train but did sustain physical injuries as a result of this assault. 

"He was just in shock that it happened to him," a transit worker who spoke with the victim told the New York Post. "It’s not like he had a confrontation with the person or they were arguing or anything. It was just a random shove. He just got shoved into the tracks — that’s what he said. This guy pushed him into the tracks."

The attack is the latest incident in a string of rising violent crime facing commuters who use the NYC subway system. At least eight murders so far this year have happened along the transit system.
