A train struck and critically injured a blind man who fell onto the tracks at a Kensington subway station on Wednesday afternoon, fire and transit officials said.

The man stepped off the platform and onto the subway tracks of the Church Avenue station at 4:15 pm, falling into the path of a Manhattan-bound G train, fire officials said.

Fire department emergency responders rescued the guy from the tracks and took him to Lutheran Hospital, where he is in critical condition, fire officials said.
