In a video that made the rounds on social networks, we can see a 45-year-old man who was on the platform of a metro station near the 18^e avenue, at 1:30 p.m.

A hooded individual pushed the forty-year-old onto the metro tracks just before the train passed.

The victim survived the violent attack with only a head injury, local police told New York Post.

“By the hand of God himself, he fell perfectly into the trench,” a police source told the American media.

The attacked man was taken to a hospital to treat his injuries. We don’t fear for our lives.

The suspect, aged 23, fled the station, but was arrested a few hours later, police said.
