Subway ‘slasher’

A Brooklyn ex-con who just got out of prison after serving 23 years for manslaughter slashed a straphanger for bumping into him Sunday, law-enforcement sources said.

Earl Spivey, 45 — who landed behind bars in 1993 and was paroled in October — stabbed the 36-yearold man for accidentally bumping into him on a Bronx-bound No. 4 train at around 3:10 a.m., the sources said.

The incident occurred as the train was pulling into the 59th Street station.

Both men got off the train, and Spivey was apprehended nearby.

He has more than 10 arrests dating back to the 1980s, including for assault, drug possession, grand theft auto and criminal possession of a weapon.

He did more than two decades for the fatal Queens shooting in 1992, sources said.

But Spivey’s mother, Sandra, said of the subway incident, “I don’t think he started it. He’s not a violent person. There’s got to be some sort of misunderstanding here.”
