Wife of NYC postal worker kicked onto Penn Station roadbed slams ‘scary’ subways as she issues ominous warning

The wife of a postal worker who was kicked onto a subway roadbed by a stranger blasted the city’s “scary” transit system — and warned it “could have happened to anyone.”

Abu Khan, 64, was left battered after a deranged man kicked him onto the tracks at the Penn Station A-C-E platform on his way back home to Queens after a shift in Manhattan on Sunday night, his wife told The Post.

“He went to his job, was on the way back home and somebody on the subway pushed him and he fell down,” his wife, Jahan Khan, said from the couple’s Elmhurst home on Monday.

“It was unnecessary to hit my husband and push him down,” she said of her husband’s attacker. “There was no fight. It could have happened to anyone.”

Khan had been looking down at his phone when the unknown man approached him and asked him a question, police sources said. The father of two told the stranger he didn’t understand — only for the man to kick him onto the northbound train tracks, according to sources.

The incident has shaken Jahan, who said she refuses to take the subway now even after the couple raised their 22-year-old daughter and 20-year-old son in the city.

“I am scared of the subway. It is very scary,” she said. “There are no police on the subway. How can someone push my husband down like that?”

Jahan said she and her husband, who remains in the hospital, were only able to speak once briefly after the attack before his phone ran out of battery.

“He has back pain, chest pain, arm pain, knee pain, head pain — everything hurts,” Jahan said.

“So many people had to pick him up after he fell down,” she added. “I pray for my husband.”

Khan’s friend Shaikh Mahmud told The Post the father of two is a postal worker in Manhattan.

“He’s a good guy,” Mahmud said. “He’s a pious man.”

Khan was helped to safety by other straphangers and was taken to Lenox Health Greenwich Village Hospital, where he remained on Monday, family said.

On Monday, he was awaiting a CAT scan and X-rays, which will determine the extent of his injuries, police sources told The Post.

Law enforcement sources noted the perpetrator was a man with a dark beard believed to be between 30 and 35 years old and about 5 feet 6.

At the time of the attack, he was wearing a dark jacket, black pants, a hat and sunglasses with the tag still on them, but fled the West 34th Street and 8th Avenue subway station, according to police.

No arrests have been made in the case.
