It’s every New Yorker’s worst nightmare.
A Big Apple straphanger was shoved onto Manhattan subway tracks and struck by an incoming 1 train in a cowardly attack Tuesday — miraculously surviving the horrifying caught-on-video ordeal.
In what cops are calling a random attack, an unidentified 45-year-old man was at the 18th Street station shortly after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday when the hooded thug pushed him onto the tracks.
Incredibly, the victim survived the harrowing assault with just a head injury — while cops are now grilling a person of interest in the cowardly afternoon attack.
“By God’s own hand, he fell perfectly in the trench,” one law enforcement source said of the victim.
He was listed in stable condition at Bellevue Hospital Tuesday night.
