Elderly straphanger injured after being shoved onto NYC subway platform by stranger

Cops are searching for a wacko who shoved an elderly straphanger onto the platform of a Manhattan subway station earlier this month.
A 65-year-old man was on board a northbound 1 train at the 28th Street subway station around 1:20 a.m. on June 2 when the unidentified man pushed him off the train and onto the platform, the NYPD said Tuesday.
The victim was rushed to a local hospital in stable condition after suffering a head injury and multiple facial fractures in the freak attack, police said.
The shover then fled the location on foot, cops added. It’s unclear what sparked the incident.
Photos released by police Tuesday showed the suspect with a beard and mustache, wearing a baseball cap, large headphones, and a black sweatshirt with white text that said “solo leveling.”

The assault is one of multiple alarming incidents that have injured elderly people in the Big Apple in recent weeks.
Homeless maniac Shawnee Moore allegedly stabbed a 75-year-old woman in the neck as she waited for an Uber in Brownsville on the morning of May 31.
Tashara Abel, a political worker handing out campaign leaflets for a Democratic candidate in Prospect Lefferts Garden, was arrested for allegedly punching and beating a 98-year-old man with a broomstick and a metal chair on June 4.
Anyone with information regarding the incident at the 28th Street subway station is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
The incident remains under investigation.
