Warning: Explicit language

The city’s subways just entered a new level of vile.

A disturbing online video shows a man standing at the edge of a platform at the Times Square-42nd Street subway station — his jeans down around his knees, showing his bare bottom — and boldly urinating onto the tracks below.

The man can be seen doing his business before stunned straphangers on the platform and moments before a train pulls into the station.

“That’s New York City for you, man,” someone can be heard saying in the clip.

The footage was posted Monday to the transit-centric Instagram page Subway Creatures, and received more than 143,800 views by Monday afternoon.

According to the caption on the post, the incoming train “stopped a foot before where he was standing.”
