A maniac is still on the loose after shoving a 58-year-old straphanger onto Brooklyn train tracks in a random and terrifying attack last month, police said. 

The unsuspecting victim was waiting for a Manhattan-bound C train when a deranged woman crept up from behind and pushed her, sending her flying onto the tracks at the Lafayette Avenue station in Fort Greene on Jan. 8 around 10 p.m, according to officials.

A group of good Samaritans rescued the woman — who is homeless, according to sources — lifting her back onto the platform before a train rumbled into the station, police said.

She was taken by EMTs to One Brooklyn Health-Brookdale Hospital Medical Center with minor injuries.

The attacker bolted from the station and has yet to be caught. 

Police released footage of the suspect Friday night, showing the wacko pacing up and down the platform.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/, on X @NYPDTips.
