Cops on Friday released surveillance images of a woman they say stabbed a straphanger over a Queens subway seat in the latest unprovoked attack underground.
The 54-year-old man told police that he was on a Manhattan-bound A train approaching the Broad Channel station around 8 a.m. Tuesday when he saw the woman sitting across a row of seats.
When he asked her to move her feet so he could sit down, the woman screamed “F— you!” and pulled out a sharp object and jammed it into his arm and chest, cops said.
She exited the train at Broad Channel and ran out of the station, police said.
Medics took the victim to St. John’s Episcopal Hospital, where he was treated for several puncture wounds.
Cops are still looking for the suspect, who was described as Black, wearing a red leather jacket, pink pants, dark colored leggings and brown boots.
Police released the surveillance photos in the hopes that someone recognizes the woman and calls NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
The NYPD has sent more than 500 extra cops into the subway system this year to try to tamp down a rash of violent crimes, many committed by mentally-ill suspects.
