Shocking footage has captured the moment a man was rescued from under a New York City subway train after being pushed onto the tracks.
Video shared by stunned passengers showed about a dozen firefighters working to remove the man from the subway on 18th Street in Manhattan’s West Village.
The victim appeared to have blood on his face when he was rescued from under the train, and authorities said he was left in critical condition.
A woman who filmed the encounter could be heard expressing her relief after the victim was helped onto the platform.
“He’s alive!” she said, before turning to the other passengers and repeating, “He’s still alive.”
Police said the subway rider did not appear to know the victim and described it as a random attack.
The suspect was described as a light-skinned man wearing a mask, black jacket, black hoodie and gray jeans. He is said to have fled and is wanted by the police.
The subway platform was evacuated and the NYPD locked down the scene while they investigated the incident.
DailyMail.com has reached out to the NYPD and FDNY for more information.

The shocking incident is the latest in a series of horror attacks on the New York City subway system.
On Christmas Eve, two people were injured at Manhattan’s Grand Central Station after a maniac was stabbed.
Sources told DailyMail.com at the time that a 28-year-old man had stabbed two strangers with a knife in the apparently random attack just after 10pm at the busy tourist hotspot.
And just days before that, the Big Apple was stunned when a homeless woman was set on fire and burned while sleeping on a subway train.
The victim was identified by the NYPD on Tuesday as Debrina Kawam, a 61-year-old woman from New Jersey.
