NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are searching for a man who pushed a 42-year-old man onto the tracks at a Bronx subway station during a fight Tuesday morning.

The unidentified attacker pushed the man onto the tracks on the southbound B and D train platform at the 174th-175th Streets subway station in Mount Eden around 6:10 a.m., officials said.

The attacker fled on foot, and EMS brought the man to NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln for evaluation.
