A good Samaritan was brutally attacked on a Manhattan train and left with broken bones in his face when he tried to stop a man from assaulting a fellow straphanger, cops said.
The 25-year-old victim was on board a southbound N train heading toward the Canal Street station around 4:25 p.m. Sept. 22 when he spotted a man — later identified as Qasin Pringle — attacking another rider, police said.
The victim stepped in to stop Pringle, cops said.
Then Pringle — joined by a second man — punched and kicked the do-gooder in the face, and threw a sneaker as well as a speaker at his head, police said.
The victim was taken to NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital with a broken nose, cheek and jaw, cops said.
Pringle, 29, of the Bronx, was busted a short time after the attack and charged with assault, authorities said.
His alleged accomplice ran out of the station, cops said.
