A woman was pushed onto the subway tracks in Brooklyn following an early-morning dispute, police said.

A Good Samaritan came to the aid of the shove victim, who suffered minor injuries, cops said.

The episode unfolded shortly after 3:20 a.m. Saturday, when three women were walking down the stairs at the Rockaway Avenue station and began arguing on the platform of the northbound C line, authorities said.

The victim, 38, was allegedly pushed onto the train tracks by one or both of the people she was arguing with, cops said.

Luckily no trains were entering the station at the time of the incident. A good Samaritan helped the victim off the tracks and back onto the platform, authorities said. The two other women ran off, police said.
