The attacker, whose face is also partially covered, approaches the woman asking for a light.
But when she hands over the lighter he moves in closer repeatedly punching her in the head and grabbing her ankles.
The woman could have been electrocuted or killed by an oncoming train in the attack that took place at 2.30pm, but she luckily manages to pull herself off the tracks without injury before a train arrives at the station.
The victim, who asked to remain anonymous, told CBSNews: 'By the time I zipped my jacket back up, that's when he was on me, on my neck. I was just telling him, 'I don't have no money,' and he was just like, 'Shut up.' "
