Video: NYC commuters take down man for shoving straphanger onto subway tracks

Wild video obtained exclusively by The Post shows a group of good Samaritans banding together to bring a crazed subway maniac to justice — after he allegedly stole a cell𒁃phone, then shoved a New York Times illustrator onto some Manhattan subway tracks during the Thursday morning rush.

The clip shows a half-dozen brave straphangers calling for police and encircling the accused in order to block his escape, moments after the 10 a.m. incident on the F train platform 🐭at the Broadway-Lafayette station.

The attacker, identified by police as homeless man Nathaniel Brown, 41, can be seen pacing with agitation as🅷 he tries to evade the good guys.

At one point, Brown rips off his shirt to wipe the sweat from his brow before trading blows with a passerby who tries to block hi๊s escape,ꦗ footage shows.

He can also be seen bull-rushing though a phalanx of Samaritans, but as he’s charging upstairs, another quick-thinking commuter🌸 comes down the steps and heroically body-checks Brown backwards onto the ground, the clip shows.

Undeterred, he tries to get back up, but another straphanger hook🌞s his a꧂nkle and sends him back to the ground.

“Call the cops!” someone yells as the video ends.

Police showed up 🌱at 10:15 a.m. and collared the man, who also injured an arresting officer’s wrist, according to cops.

Police sources say Brown first robbed someone of a c♍ellphone on a No.ꦉ 6 train at Spring and Canal streets minutes before.

A phone was recovered on him, and police used the device to track down itꦏs rightful🥃 owner, sources said.

Then he got into an argument with a 30-year-old stranger a♕t Broadway-Lafayette at 10 a.m. and shoved him onto the tracks, fracturing the man’s hip and leaving him with cuts, cops said.

The fiend then spat on a 25-year-old who tried to help the first victim, accᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤🐭⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚording to police.

The 30-year-old victim was take📖n to Bellevue hospital, while the 25-year-old refused medical attention, cops said.

The Post confirmed the older victim is an illustrator for the New York Time൩s, but is withholding his identity, because he was not available for a comment.

He was wearing a full neck brace when The Post🔥 visited him in the hospital Thursday afternoon.

Brown, meanwhile, was arrestedꦗ on charges of assault and resisting ꧃arrest, police said.

He was also sꦜhouting “Allahu akbar” — a common Muslim prayer that has also been co-opted by religious extremists — whe꧙n he was arrested, sources said.

Cops are investigating anඣy pos💃sible terror ties, according to sources.

The injured officer, meanwhile, was taken to Bellevue and treated for minor injuries. According to photos taken at t꧃he scene, the hurt cop iౠs NYPD Officer Chester Chung, who helped reunite a lost 4-year-old with his mother last October.

Local trains 🌳thr🐠ough the station were rerouted until about 10:20 a.m., the MTA said.
