“#Quick-thinking conductor stops train to avoid hitting man pushed onto tracks<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A quick-thinking operator managed to stop his F train about 30 feet from a man who was pushed onto the tracks at a Queens subway station Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Subway operator Tobin Madathil told The Post that he was pulling into the 21st Street-Queensbridge station around 7:45 a.m. when he jumped into action once he thought he saw something in his path. <\/p>\n

\u201cRight when I was coming into the station people were waving at me, and that\u2019s when I immedia<\/a>tely placed the train into emergency mode,\u201d Madathil, 29, said in a phone Monday phone interview.<\/p>\n

Moments earlier, a crazed suspect had shoved the Asian male onto the tracks \u2014 the latest in a spate of attacks in the city\u2019s subway system.<\/p>\n

Madathil said he was able to bring his train to a stop about 10 yards from the man.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad I was able to stop on time and didn\u2019t hit the guy, thank God!\u201d the operator said. <\/p>\n

About the same time, good Samaritans from the platform were also helping the victim up, according to Madathil.<\/p>\n

\u201cI exited the train and went to the victim. He was bleeding from the head,\u201d recalled Madathil.<\/p>\n

Madathil said he called the subway control center and requested medical attention. Soon after, EMS and police arrived, he said.<\/p>\n

The victim was taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center with a cut on his forehead.<\/p>\n

Two years into being a train operator, Madathil explained how he always tries to be ready for the unexpected.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just try to stay focused at all times when I operate, just watch the tracks and platform, just be alert,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The suspected subway shover remained on the loose Monday. During the attack, he said something to the victim, who did not understand him, cops said.<\/p>\n

The crime is being investigated as a possible bias incident, according to police.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
