A Honduran migrant was arrested Tuesday for randomly shoving two strangers — including an 83-year-old man — onto Upper East Side subway tracks over the weekend, according to authorities.

Bairon Hernandez, 34, was collared by the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force and the NYPD at a homeless shelter in Brooklyn, according to cops and sources.

He allegedly pushed the elderly victim and a 31-year-old man at the Lexington Avenue–63rd Street station around noon on Sunday, police said.
