Cops Reveal 2nd Person Pushed On Atlantic Ave Tracks This Week

BROOKLYN, NY — Police are asking the public's help to find a man who pushed someone onto the tracks at Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center station — the second time this week someone has been shoved onto tracks at the subway stop.

Cops released photos on Tuesday of a man who followed a 45-year-old man off of a 4 train at the station just before 5 a.m. Saturday, grabbing and pushing him onto the southbound tracks moments later, police said.

The man suffered multiple rib and spinal fractures and was taken to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital. He is in stable condition, according to police.

The attack came just a few days before another man was pushed onto the tracks on Monday. Police released photos of the suspect from that attack on Monday evening.

Police have not said the two attacks are connected.

The suspect from Saturday's attack is described as having facial hair, brown eyes and long black hair. He was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt with a yellow logo on the front, black sweatpants and a blue surgical mask, police said.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips. All calls are strictly confidential.
