This happened to my mother back in 2017. Rushing to pick me from school near 3rd ave-149 on the (2)(5) trains, was at Spectrum/Time Warner Cable down at 96th Street on the (1)(2)(3) trains, rush hour, after 3:30, she's standing on the side of the doors, and is accidentally pushed by a crowd in between the train and the platform. Luckily, a few People noticed her and saved her before the train could pull out the station. Took her to Lincoln hospital, suffered a leg injury that still bothers her to this day. But she's walking strong. Love you ma!
