A good Samaritan who tried to break up a fight on a Harlem subway platform was shoved against a moving train, leaving her hospitalized, police said Monday.
The 56-year-old victim sought to intervene in a fight between two men on the downtown platform for the No. 2 and train trains in the 135th St. station around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, cops said.
One of the strangers angrily shoved her and she bounced off the side of a train barreling into the station and fell back onto the platform, breaking her arm and bruising her head, officials said.
Medics took the woman to Harlem Hospital in stable condition.
Cops arrested Aaron Nett, 43, for assault a short while. He was awaiting arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court Monday.
The city’s subway system just had one of its safest quarters on record, tying the previous record set in 2020 when ridership ground to a halt amid the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, according to the NYPD.
Excluding the first years of the pandemic, the safest months in the subway system were July, August, September, and October of this year, according to police data.
