A stranger allegedly shoved a 74-year-old man onto Bronx train tracks in an unprovoked attack – then bizarrely blurted out, “I didn’t do it” before he was arrested, police sources said.
Deviante Collins, 28, of Brooklyn, allegedly pushed the senior onto the southbound Nos. 2 and 5 tracks at the 149th Street–Grand Concourse station around 7:15 a.m. Sunday, authorities said.
The elderly victim was standing with his wife before he was attacked, and Collins did not exchange any words with him before the shove, cops and sources said.

The victim was taken to Lincoln Medical Center with minor leg injuries, cops said.
Collins – who has no prior busts in the city – was arrested at the scene and charged with second-degree assault, as well as reckless endangerment and harassment, both in the first degree, police said.
The attack came a week after a crazed woman shoved Steven Morales, 43, onto the Kosciuszko Street J train platform in Bedford-Stuyvesant around 9 a.m. Dec. 1, according to cops and the victim.
That suspect bolted after the assault and has not been caught.
