Subways on alert

- Daniel Prendergas­t

A mentally disturbed German man yelled “Infidel, you must die!” as he fatally stabbed one man and wounded three others at a Bavarian train station Tuesday — prompting the NYPD to beef up security in the Big Apple subways.

The 27-year-old unemployed carpenter, who received psychiatri­c care Sunday, also shouted “Allahu Akbar” — Arabic for “God is Great” — as he assaulted his first victim, Reuters reported.

“He’s a crazed psychopath,” a police investigat­or told AFP.

The suspect had a 4-inch survival knife tucked into his belt when he was nabbed early Tuesday outside the Grafing Bahnhof station near Munich, authoritie­s said.

One victim, a 56-year-old man, died at a hospital. A 58-year-old man was badly injured, while two other men, ages 43 and 55, suffered non-life-threatenin­g injuries.

The suspect — named only as Paul H. — admitted to the crime, according to the Munich prosecutor’s office.

During an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Police Commission­er Bill Bratton said the NYPD responded to the attack by increasing its presence in the subway system.
