A heartless stranger shoved an 82-year-old woman onto the tracks in a Queens subway during a random attack Wednesday, police said — the latest in a series of violent encounters in the city’s underground.

The creep pushed the elderly victim just before noon at the Flushing-Main Street No. 7 station while the train sat in the station, according to authorities.

Sources said she hit her head on the side of the train — leaving behind a bloody scene — before she landed on the tracks between cars.

The horrific incident comes after a string of troubling crimes in the Big Apple transit system.

Last week, half-naked sex fiend Lamel Batten — who has a whopping 51 past arrests — allegedly tried to rape a woman when she got off a bench at the 116th Street/Columbia University subway station.

Batten allegedly pounced on the woman — throwing her against a wall and ripping open her shirt while clawing at her.

The terrified victim managed to get away when Batten tried to take off her pants, police said. 

One day earlier, a 45-year-old man was knifed in the chest during a clash on a Bronx train platform.

The victim was stabbed just before 3 a.m. at the 138th Street-Grand Concourse Nos. 4 and 5 subway station in Mott Haven.

He was taken by medics to Lincoln Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition. 

A week earlier, a madman senselessly punched a 62-year-old woman in the face and shoved her onto Brooklyn subway tracks when she ignored his request for a lighter.

The suspect, Shadrach Ford, 30, was nabbed the next day and charged with attempted murder.
