Gal pushed onto tracks downtown
A DERANGED man shoved a woman onto the tracks at an East Village subway station Tuesday night, cops said.
Kamala Shrestha, 49, was standing on the uptown F platform at Second Ave. and Houston St. when someone shoved her from behind and launched her onto the tracks just before 8:50 p.m.
Luckily, no trains were approaching, and a group of good Samaritans pulled the Queens woman back onto the platform, cops said.
Medics took Shrestha (photo) to Bellevue Hospital with minor injuries, including a cut to her head, cops said.
“She’s currently in stable condition,” said Capt. Hsiao Loo of the Manhattan South Detectives Bureau.
The pusher, described by police as a black man in his 20s wearing a black T-shirt and dark pants, walked out of the station and escaped.
On July 19, a 32-year-old straphanger tried to shove an MTA conductor into the path of a southbound B train at Columbus Circle, and on April 14, a man groped a woman on the F train platform at 14th St., then shoved her onto the tracks. Kimani Stephenson, 24, faces attemptedmurder charges in that case.
