A man is in critical condition after he was shoved onto New York City subway tracks on New Year’s Eve, adding to a recent spate of violent incidents in the nation’s busiest subway system. 

The NYPD received a 911 call claiming there was an assault in progress at a New York City subway station on Tuesday afternoon. 

Officers responded and found that a 45-year-old man had been struck by a southbound train after reportedly being shoved onto the subway tracks, according to authorities.

The ordeal was captured on video and shows a hooded male on the edge of the platform and a victim looking at his phone as the train pulls into the station.

Kamel Hawkins, 23, has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly pushing the stranger, police said.

The 45-year-old victim was taken to a hospital in critical condition.

Tuesday’s violence comes less than two weeks after a woman — identified as 57-year-old Debrina Kawam — was set ablaze while asleep on a train in Brooklyn on Dec. 22. She died, and a man has been charged with murder and arson in her death.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
