The crazy train pulled into a Metro-North station on Thursday — when an enraged, purple-haired woman ditched her toddler on a platform and jumped onto the tracks, sources told The Post.
Iris Ana Gonzalez, 37, had to be tackled by MTA cops at the Harlem station and was taken for psych evaluation following the 12:30 p.m. mayhem, the sources said.
Gonzalez, who lives in the Bronx, was on a Grand Central-bound train when she got into a raging fight with her baby daddy and slapped him in the face as they pulled out of the Williams Bridge station, the sources said.
Two off-duty cops heard the commotion and tried to break up the fight. They also called ahead for MTA officers to meet them at the 125th Street station, said agency officials.
When the train arrived, the cops pulled the couple and the toddler out of the car and onto the platform. As soon as the train pulled away, Gonzalez jumped down onto the southbound tracks, leaving the dad and the kid in the stroller on the platform.
The cops chased after Gonzalez and tackled her onto the rail bed — holding her until the ambulance arrived.
Gonzalez was taken to Bellevue Hospital for observation, said MTA officials. She has not yet been charged.
The city took the toddler into protective custody, since the father does not have custody.
A close friend of Gonzalez said she is a good mom to her two-year-old son and five-year-old daughter.
“She’s not a crazy mom,” said the friend, who did not want to give his name. “I think she had a temporary mental breakdown and she didn’t know how to handle it.”
The conductor of a passing Metro-North train told passengers in her car that Gonzalez appeared to be on drugs.
“You wouldn’t believe how many times I see stuff like that,” the conductor said.
