The Brooklyn mom who tumbled down a flight of stairs during an attempted robbery at a Manhattan subway station earlier this month has died, police sources told The Post.
Than Htwe, 58, died Wednesday, one day after her family said on their GoFundMe page that she would not survive after undergoing brain surgery — and that they planned to donate her organs.
The page had raised more than $48,000 for the family before it was shut down this week.
“I just want to tell everyone who’s reading this to always cherish the moments you have with your mother,” her son, Kyaw Saw Hein, wrote on the fundraising site.
“Tell her ‘I love you’ or give her a hug and kiss because you never know what will happen,” he said. “Thank you for all the support.”
Htwe, of Brooklyn, was with her 22-year-old son on the way to a doctor’s appointment on July 17 when they were attacked from behind at the Broadway and Canal Q line station in Chinatown.
Their attacker — who remains on the loose — tried to grab Hein’s backpack as the pair climbed the stairs, and both he and his mom fell down the stairs as the brute ran off, police said.
Htwe remained unconscious at the hospital and never recovered.
