A woman lost both her feet after her boyfriend allegedly pushed her onto the subway tracks — where she was struck by a train in Manhattan, police sources said.
The victim, 29, was not immediately identified.
The southbound 3 train was pulling into the Fulton Street Station at Chambers Street Saturday at 10:25 a.m. when it hit her, severing her feet, cops said.
“They were arguing and he pushed her,” a police source said.
The MTA cut power to the third rail and the woman was taken to Bellevue Hospital in critical condition.
It wasn’t clear what the two were arguing about.
One witness said he served in the Iraq war and used his training, which included emergency medical response, to try and help.
“So I went down just to see if there was any way I could contribute,” said the man, who gave his name as William. “And when I went down I saw her between two cars.”
Another subway rider said he tried talking to the woman to keep her calm.
“She said something to the effect that she didn’t deserve this,” the 48-year-old said. “She held a part of her flesh to show me that she might have lost her leg.”
He stayed with her for about five minutes until police got there.
“I hope she’s good,” he said. “She’s really strong. She told me she was going to the spa.”
The boyfriend fled from the station after pushing her and was being sought, cops said.
Less than an hour later, a man jumped onto the tracks in Midtown and was fatally struck by a train, cops said.
The fatality happened at Seventh Avenue and West 53rd Street around 11:30 a.m., cops said.
No details were available about the Seventh Avenue incident, which is believed to be unrelated to the Fulton Street shoving.
If he’s on the loose ,why no description of him????????
His ass should be charged with attempted murder. Who’s gonna pay for this innocent woman’s medical bills? Hope she is doing well
He said he won’t do it again
Why did people not read that a man jumped in front of a train? They made it sound like he killed himself. I imagine the ID of this person would be hard and is in the process before this was written.
The man served himself by jumping in front of a train.
