A stranger slashed at the 41-year-old man’s face with a razor blade on Sunday at around 8:30 a.m.
The attacker fled the station, but the victim notified police who arrested 39-year-old Brendan Dowling nearby.
Dowling was charged with assault and tampering with physical evidence, because he threw the blade onto the tracks after the attack.
The NYPD hate crimes task force is investigating to determine if the attack was racially motivated.
