Serial subway ‘wacko jacko’ busted

The disgraced former chef of an East Village raw-food restaurant — who has been repeatedly arrested for exposing himself to subway riders — was busted again on charges that he flashed a startled straphanger at a Greenwich Village subway station, The Post has learned.

Dan Hoyt (inset), 55, was caught on surveillance video pleasuring himself inside the 8th Street station off Broadway, then exposing himself to a woman as she descended the staircase to the platform, according to a complaint.

Prosecutor Charles Manfredi called it “a very serious case” at Hoyt’s May 11 arraignment, saying the troubled vegan had already amassed four misdemeanor convictions for exposure.

“In addition to masturbating publicly inside of the subway station, earlier in the evening, the defendant pulled his pants down in front of the complaining witness and exposed his naked and erect penis to her,” the ADA told Judge Phyllis Chu, who ordered Hoyt held in lieu of $1,000 bail.

The serial subway perv took a no-jail plea deal last year for the same crime at the same station, pleading guilty to committing serial acts of public lewdness for accosting a 24-year-old woman on Jan. 1, 2016, and agreeing to complete a sex-offender program.

Hoyt yelled, “Hey, look over here,” as he stood on the platform with his pants around his ankles, according to reports. The next day, Hoyt, sans pants, advanced toward the same woman inside a subway car as he masturbated.

In November 2016, he took another plea deal for harassing a woman at the 8th Street station.

“Can I masturbate to you?” he asked the shocked woman.

He copped to harassment in exchange for time served.

Hoyt’s compulsion landed him in the news in 2005 for exposing himself to at least six women at the 59th Street-Columbus Circle subway station.

The chef faces up to a year in jail if convicted of the top count of serial acts of public lewdness.
