A subway conductor was viciously attacked by an enraged passenger he had instructed to leave the train in the Bronx, according to police reports.

Footage circulating on social media captures the intense confrontation, showing the attacker tackling and repeatedly striking the 58-year-old MTA worker in the face on the platform of the 177 Street-Parkchester station at around 10:15 p.m. on Friday.

Before the altercation, the conductor had announced to the 6 train passengers that they had reached the end of the line and needed to disembark. In response, the unidentified passenger spat at him, as shown in the video and confirmed by authorities.

In retaliation, the MTA worker exited the train wielding what appeared to be a large wooden object, swinging it at the aggressor and temporarily forcing him to retreat, the video reveals.

The suspect managed to evade the swinging object multiple times before removing his jacket and tackling the conductor to the ground. He then relentlessly punched the MTA employee’s head and face, as captured in the recording.

Eventually, another MTA staff member and a passerby intervened, pulling the attacker off the conductor. However, the assailant managed to land one last kick to the conductor’s face before the video abruptly ends.

The violent video matches media released by the NYPD Wednesday morning showing the suspect.

After the beatdown, the unidentified suspect then fled the location on foot, according to police, who appealed to the public for help finding the violent passenger.

The MTA employee suffered cuts and bruising to his face and was rushed by EMS to Jacobi hospital “in serious but stable condition,” police said.
