CHINATOWN — Police released video of man they say attacked a woman on a subway platform earlier this month as she waited for the F train.

The victim, Sabrina Scott, 39 was knocked unconscious after she fell onto the train tracks at the East Broadway station following the Feb. 4 assault, police said.

The unidentified attacker punched her in the head before getting into an altercation with another man, 43, leading her to fall onto the tracks, police added.

Scott was ultimately rescued by an alert Good Samaritan, identified later as Derrick Oakes.

The suspect is described as a light-skinned male between the ages of 35 and 40, standing 6-feet and weighing 200 pounds, wearing blue jeans and a tan sweater, the NYPD said. He is described as having a clean-shaven, pock-marked face and a clean-shaven head.

Police released an image of the suspect wanted for attacking a woman in the East Broadway subway station on Feb. 4.
