The Bronx District Attorney’s office says a Brooklyn man was arraigned Thursday and charged with attempted murder charge for shoving a man into a moving train in Highbridge.

Anton Aleshin, 29, pleaded not guilty.

Aleshin is accused of pushing a 73-year-old man into a southbound No. 4 train around 3:30 a.m. at the 161st Street/Yankee Stadium subway station.

Court documents say the victim, Julio Figueroa, sustained lacerations to the head and lost consciousness during the attack.

EMS took Figueroa to NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln, where he is expected to recover, according to the NYPD.

Aleshin faces a slew of other charges, including assault, harassment and reckless endangerment. He is due back in court Jan. 6.
