About 7:45 a.m., the 26-year-old victim was on a southbound No. 4 train. Cops say a stranger approached him on Saturday and grabbed him by the jacket collar.
“What are you looking at?” the suspect inquired, according to a police spokesman.
The stranger “dragged the victim to the platform floor and punched him several times in the face” as the train approached the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall subway station, according to cops.

The culprit was captured on security footage, according to police.
