Subway Shover Remains On Loose After Penn Station Attack: See Photos

NEW YORK CITY — A subway shover remained on the loose after he randomly pushed a straphanger onto the tracks in Penn Station, police said.

The shoving incident sent a 64-year-old man to a local hospital Sunday and prompted an ongoing hunt for the attacker, authorities said.

NYPD officials late Monday released photographs showing the suspect, who is seen with something dangling over his nose as he wore sunglasses.

The victim — identified as postal clerk Abu Khan — told CBS New York that he hit his head and feared for his life after the fall onto the tracks.

"I said, I gonna die any time," Khan said, according to CBS.

Police said the attacker walked up to the 64-year-old Khan waiting for a C/E train on the Queens-bound platform at Penn Station about 4:45 p.m.

The attacker mutter something before he kicked Khan in the back, which caused him to fall onto the tracks, police said. He then ran off and remained unidentified a day after the assault, authorities said.

The incident comes amid renewed concerns about safety in the subway system after recent shootings and the slashing of an MTA conductor.
