What a s—show.
A man smeared human feces on a woman’s face in an unprovoked rush-hour attack inside a Bronx subway station, sickening new video shows.
The 43-year-old victim was sitting on a bench on the southbound platform of the Wakefield–241st Street station around 5:15 p.m. Feb. 21 when a man began walking toward her, holding a black plastic bag, according to cops and the clip released late Sunday.
Then, without saying a word, he smashed the vile contents of the bag in her face, and then smeared it on the back of her head, the footage shows.
The assailant took off after the attack, and cops were still looking for him Monday morning.Â
Mayor Eric Adams called the incident a “horrific experience for anyone to go through” at an unrelated press conference Monday afternoon.Â
“Human waste or someone spitting in your face, those are real signs of mental health issues … and we really must dig into how we’re dealing with these mental health issues,” said the mayor.
The nauseating incident comes amid a frightening uptick in Big Apple subway crime.
Just three days later, William Blount, 57, allegedly bludgeoned “hero’’ city health worker Nina Rothschild, also 57, with a hammer and stole her bag in a Queens subway station.
Rothschild was taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center in critical condition with a fractured skull and bleeding on her brain, according to cops and sources.
