    Two female tourists from Mexico were shoved onto train tracks by another woman at a Manhattan subway station early Monday, the NYPD and sources said.

    The victims, ages 20 and 27, were pushed off the northbound F platform at the Delancey Street/Essex Street station on the Lower East Side just after 2:15 a.m., according to cops.

    A bystander rushed to help and pulled the two women safely back onto the platform, police said.
    No train was incoming at the time of the incident.

    Officers already assigned to patrol the station quickly took the barefoot female perp into custody and hauled her away in cuffs, exclusive photos taken by The Post show.

    No details on the suspect were immediately available and charges are still pending, cops said.

    It also wasn’t immediately clear why the suspect, who did not appear to know the two women, targeted them.

    One of the victims was spotted being taken out of the station in a wheelchair, while the other had to be helped up the stairs by first responders.

    The women, who law enforcement sources say were on vacation from Mexico, were taken to Bellevue Hospital to be treated for minor injuries.
