The 45-year-old man who suffered the near-fatal horrifying attack has yet to be identified. He was at the 18th Street station when a hooded maniac pushed him onto the tracks. As of now, authorities are labelling the development as a random attack that happened shortly after 1:30 pm on Tuesday, December 31.

What we know about the NYC subway attacker so far

Visuals from the disturbing footage of the incident captured the suspect wearing a dark hoodie and grey jeans. Right before being pushed onto the tracks, the victim was seemingly busy with his phone as the subway train made a pitstop at the station. The sicko was walking edge of the platform before he unexpectedly pushed the man, who eventually couldn’t be seen under the train. The masked suspect has been described as a man with a light complexion.

NYC subway attack’s hooded suspect is at large

Seconds prior to the attack, two other individuals were caught jumping the turnstile on the footage. They eventually dashed out of the station after witnessing the horrifying scene. The brute suspect similarly fled the scene and is still on the loose. Cops don’t believe there to be any connection between the attacker and the victim.

Bystanders stood helpless on the station platform as firefighters toiled to pull the victim in his 40s from between subway cars.

This is a developing story due to the ongoing investigation.
