A “Law & Order” actor known for his wildly tattooed face was slashed on a Manhattan subway train over the weekend, cops said.

Douglas Drucker was riding on a southbound E train just after 6 p.m. Saturday when he said he was attacked by a shoeless man with bleeding feet.

“I was listening to music, in my own world. This guy comes through the cars while the train is moving,” Drucker, 31, recalled.

Other commuters scattered, but the actor, who played a gang leader in the “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” episode “Dirty,” remained where he was.

Drucker said he made eye contact with the man, who then growled, “What are you looking at?”

As the train pulled into the World Trade Center station, the man suddenly punched Drucker in the back of the head and slashed him on the shoulder, cops said.

The man fled when the subway car door opened.

Drucker sustained minor injuries to his right shoulder and left hand, police said.

The attacker, who witnesses said appeared homeless, is described as about 40 years old, standing 6 feet tall, wearing a black hat, long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans with a black backpack.
