Slap-happy train attack

- BY DAN RIVOLI, THOMAS TRACY

A man was left cowering in his seat as a burly woman repeatedly slapped him on an R train, according to a shocking video.

“Help me! Somebody call the police!” the silver-haired man screamed in a shrill voice as a woman continued to smack him over something he apparently said, according to witnesses.

The video, posted by Newsflare.com, doesn’t show what the man said, just the result: The 33-second clip starts with the woman, in a brown shirt with a butterfly on it, storm up and smack the stranger.

“Why you act, motherf-----?” the woman demands before her onslaught begins.

“I didn’t act anything,” the man said before he is smacked “Somebody call police, please!”

The woman smacks the man 12 times during the attack. The victim didn’t appear injured — just frightened out of his wits — as he tries to record the woman with his phone.

The filmmaker told Newsflare that the video was recorded on an R train on Saturday, although he did not disclose where in the system this took place.

“I was on the train and all of a sudden this woman started yelling at the man cause he said something wrong and she got up and started attacking him,” the filmmaker said.

Neither the MTA nor the NYPD have a record of this incident, officials said. No complaint reports have been generated.
