A 50-year-old woman was lucky to avoid serious injury after a vagrant shoved her into the side of an oncoming subway train in Manhattan, sources said Wednesday.
The homeless assailant, Patricia Abraham, 62, was busted Tuesday less than 24 hours after the unprovoked attack at the Prince St. station, sources said.
The victim was waiting on the northbound platform at about 4:50 p.m. Monday when Abraham hurled her into the train, sources said.
The victim — who suffered minor injuries to her shoulder, neck and back — hopped into a subway car to escape her attacker.
She got off at the 23rd St. station and reported the incident to authorities, sources said.
An eagle-eyed cop spotted Abraham on 14th St. Tuesday afternoon. The exact location of the arrest wasn’t immediately clear.
Abraham was charged with felony and misdemeanor assault, as well as reckless endangerment, sources said.
She was taken to Bellevue Hospital for evaluation. Her arraignment was expected to take place Wednesday night.
