Police Hunt For Man Who Threw 69-Year-Old From F Train

KENSINGTON, BROOKLYN — Police are hunting for the man who pummeled a 69-year-old man then threw him from an F train.

The man began punching the elderly straphanger after an argument broke out on a southbound train approaching the Ditmas Avenue station about 6:50 a.m. on June 10, police said.

When the doors slid open, the man picked up the 69-year-old, hurled him onto the platform and ran out of the station, said police.

Medics took his elderly victim to Maimonides Medical Center where he was treated for swelling and bruising to his face, police said.

Police released photos Tuesday of a suspect in his early 20s, who stands about 6-foot 2-inches and has tattoos on both his arms.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact police.
