Cops busted a man who spewed anti-Asian remarks at a straphanger before slashing him during a fight on a Brooklyn train this week, authorities said.
Nicholas Martin, 24, turned himself in at the 105th Precinct in Queens Thursday, and faces two counts of assault — one as a hate crime — in connection to the Tuesday afternoon attack, cops said.
The 39-year-old victim was riding a southbound F train approaching the York Street station in Dumbo just before 3 p.m. when he got into a dispute with Martin, who at some point hurled an anti-Asian comment at him, authorities said. The dispute turned physical – with the suspect slashing the victim in the chest and the back of the neck, cops said. The victim was treated for his injuries at The Brooklyn Hospital Center.
