A 35-year-old man was shoved onto the tracks at an Upper Manhattan subway station on Saturday after he tried to break up a fight, cops and sources said.

The straphanger attempted to intervene in a scuffle between a man and a woman at the Dyckman Street stop in Inwood when the chaos unfolded, police sources said.

The man involved in the feud pushed the victim onto the downtown A train tracks at about 3:52 p.m.

The victim managed to get off the tracks before a train arrived at the station, cops said. He suffered an injury to his left wrist and was taken to Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital.

No arrests have been made in the attack.

Fellow commuters at the subway station told The Post they’re always on guard when riding the rails.

“I don’t wear headphones anymore on subway stations because I just want to be vigilant. I don’t know who’s approaching, especially on this station,” Nikki Suresh told The Post.

Suresh, 33, who works in finance, confessed that she is scared to ride the subway.

“I do feel a certain amount of fear especially here… I tend to stand towards the ends,” she said.

The attack comes just days after an illegal migrant allegedly pushed two people onto the subway tracks on the Upper East Side — including an 83-year-old Air Force veteran Richard Williams.

Bairon Hernandez, who migrated to the US from Honduras, is accused of shoving Williams and Jhon Pena, 30, onto the roadbed at the Lexington Avenue-63rd Street station on Sunday.

The illegal immigrant was a “serial criminal” who had a long rap sheet with at least 15 charges, including aggravated assault, possession of a weapon, and domestic violence, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Hernandez had been deported from the US four times, but kept returning to the country illegally, according to the DHS.

Immediately after being pushed onto the tracks, Pena heroically saved the life of his fellow victim with just moments to spare.

Pena was able to pull the grandfather back onto the platform mere seconds before the oncoming train rolled in.

Williams is currently brain dead and family members say he might not make it. Pena suffered shoulder and knee injuries.
