A 55-year-old MTA subway conductor was punched in the face by a commuter as he peered out his train window at the 42 Street-Grand Central Station, cops said Friday.
Police have released a surveillance image of the attacker, hoping someone recognizes him.
The conductor’s No. 5 train had just pulled into the station at about 7:45 p.m. on Thursday when the suspect stormed up and socked him, police said.
The assailant, who said nothing during the attack and had no interaction with the conductor beforehand, ran out of the station. No arrests have been made.
EMS rushed the conductor to New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, where he was treated and released.
Cops recovered surveillance footage of the man in the station. He’s described as Black, between 35 and 39 years old, and about 6-foot-2 with a medium build and short hair.
At the time of the attack he was wearing a black jacket, gray hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
Anyone with information regarding this man’s whereabouts is urged to call NYPD Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
