A man was shoved onto the tracks at the Myrtle-Wyckoff subway station in Brooklyn on Friday, according to the NYPD.  
Police say the attack happened mid-afternoon on Friday when a 32-year-old man was pushed onto the tracks. They say he is expected to recover, but the suspect remains at large.  
Several recent MTA attacks have left some commuters feeling uneasy. 
“When the train comes, I take a step back,” said one subway rider. 
The NYPD says crime on MTA property is up 41% compared to this time last year. Last month, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced that every subway car will be equipped with two security cameras by 2025.
