Cops busted a man for randomly shoving a stranger on the subway tracks — an attack that included good Samaritans saving the victim before a speeding train could hit him, police said Thursday.
A crime stoppers tip led police to Jakim Jeter, 20, who was arrested at 12:30 p.m. in the Bronx for the Nov. 9 subway shove and charged with attempted murder in the second degree and assault in the first degree, police said.
Jeter allegedly shoved Edwin Pinez, 55, onto the “6” train tracks at the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall station in Manhattan and took off running, witnesses and police said.
Pinez miraculously only suffered a busted lip from the fall because he was saved by a group of quick-thinking straphangers who dashed down the platform to get a conductor’s attention moments before a train speeded into the station.
