In a disturbing incident on Saturday, a 35-year-old man was pushed onto the subway tracks in Upper Manhattan after attempting to break up a fight, according to police and sources.

The incident took place at the Dyckman Street station in Inwood, where the victim tried to intervene in a heated altercation between a man and a woman. This act of intervention quickly turned dangerous, as police sources reported.

During the confrontation, the male participant in the quarrel shoved the Good Samaritan onto the tracks of the downtown A train at approximately 3:52 p.m.

Fortunately, the victim was able to climb back onto the platform before any train arrived. He sustained an injury to his left wrist and was subsequently transported to Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital for treatment, according to police reports.

As of now, authorities have not made any arrests related to the incident.

Commuters at the station expressed their concerns, telling The Post that they remain vigilant while using the subway system.

“I don’t wear headphones anymore on subway stations because I just want to be vigilant. I don’t know who’s approaching, especially on this station,” Nikki Suresh told The Post.

Suresh, 33, who works in finance, confessed that she is scared to ride the subway.

“I do feel a certain amount of fear especially here… I tend to stand towards the ends,” she said.

The attack comes just days after an illegal migrant allegedly pushed two people onto the subway tracks on the Upper East Side — including an 83-year-old Air Force veteran Richard Williams.

Bairon Hernandez, who migrated to the US from Honduras, is accused of shoving Williams and Jhon Pena, 30, onto the roadbed at the Lexington Avenue-63rd Street station on Sunday.

The illegal immigrant was a “serial criminal” who had a long rap sheet with at least 15 charges, including aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, and domestic violence, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Hernandez had been deported from the US four times, but kept returning to the country illegally, according to the DHS.

Immediately after being pushed onto the tracks, Pena heroically saved the life of his fellow victim with just moments to spare.

Pena was able to pull the grandfather back onto the platform mere seconds before the oncoming train rolled in.

Williams is currently brain dead and family members say he might not make it. Pena suffered shoulder and knee injuries.
