A passenger on a J train made anti-Latino remarks to another rider last week in Brooklyn before punching him in the face, breaking his nose, police said.
The suspect was riding uptown around 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday when he walked up to another man as the train was approaching the Crescent Avenue station in Cypress Hills.
Police said the suspect made the anti-Latino comments before punching the man in the face, according to the NYPD.
The attacker ran away on foot and the victim was taken to an area hospital, where he was treated for a broken nose, police said.
Police described the suspect as being in his 20s.
