A shouting maniac stabbed a straphanger watching Netflix in an unprovoked attack on board a Brooklyn train Tuesday night – and now the victim says he’ll think twice before taking the subway again.
The 32-year-old victim was watching a show on board a northbound Q train at Park Place and Seventh Avenue in Park Slope just after 11 p.m. when the stranger suddenly lashed out, according to the victim and sources.
“I was coming home from work, to Astoria,” the victim, who did not want his name used, told The Post in Spanish. “I was watching a show on Netflix. Then a guy came into the train and started to yell things at me.
“I didn’t pay any attention to him because I thought he was crazy,” the rider added. “But then he hit me, he stabbed me with something in the chest and my arm.”
The injured man was taken to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he received two stitches in his arm and two in his chest.
The victim, originally from Mexico with a wife and kids back home, said the attack left him afraid to ride the subway.
“I had never seen anything like that,” he said. “I didn’t believe it was happening … I had never had anything like that happen to me.”
“The truth is I’m scared.”
The suspect fled onto the street after the attack and was still on the loose Wednesday.
The random assault came hours after a teen girl was slashed in the face inside a Bronx subway station, cops said.
The 17-year-old girl was knifed on the left side of the face inside the 161st Street-Yankee Stadium subway station around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said.
She was taken to Harlem Hospital where he was listed in stable condition.
The circumstances leading up to that attack are unclear because the young victim was uncooperative with investigators, sources said.
Video released by the NYPD Wednesday shows the still-at-large assailant passing through the emergency exit gate of the station.
Anyone with information on the crimes is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
