MANHATTAN — A man was critically injured after plunging from the elevated 1 train tracks in Inwood early Saturday, authorities said.

The victim, in his 50s, suffered head trauma and multiple fractures to the arms and legs after plummeting from the elevated tracks along 10th Avenue at Isham Street about 3:41 a.m., the FDNY said.

He was taken Harlem Hospital after the plunge, which sources estimated to be the equivalent of three stories.

It was not clear if the man fell, jumped or was pushed, fire officials said.
