An attacker hurled an anti-Asian statement at a 58-year-old woman and slapped her on a Bronx subway platform earlier this month, new video shows.

The suspect approached the victim, unprovoked, at the 174th Street 2 and 5 train station around 6:20 p.m. Dec. 1, made the offensive statement and suddenly slapped her, cops said.

Video released late Sunday shows the attacker getting in the woman’s face and then hitting her.

The assault left the victim with a scratch to her nose, according to cops.

The woman refused medical attention, authorities said, and the suspect fled the scene on foot.

The NYPD’s Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating the attack.
