The woman was waiting for a G train at the Metropolitan Avenue station in Williamsburg around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday when the man grabbed her and attempted to push her onto the tracks at random, police sources told the New York Post this weekend.

Good Samaritans stopped the man, and he fled the station, the sources said.

But the man returned and tried to shove the woman onto the tracks again, according to the report.

The good Samaritans intervened again, and the woman was not injured, the sources said.

The attack came amid a spike in anti-Asian hate crimes in the city, although the man’s potential motive was not known, according to the report.

He apparently remained at large Sunday.
