An MTA worker is in the hospital with a bruised jaw after two men randomly assaulted him at a Queens subway station, police said Wednesday.

The 54-year-old victim, a lighting supervisor, was standing on the mezzanine when he was called over by the two suspects standing at a turnstile at the Queens Boulevard station near Jackson Avenue in Long Island City around 2 p.m. Tuesday, police said.

“Can I ask you a question,” one of the men asked the victim — and then punched him in the face, according to sources.

The suspects fled, and the victim was taken to Mount Sinai with a swollen jaw.

The victim was described by cops as being of Asian descent, but there was no indication that was why he was attacked.

There has been a surge of hate crimes against Asians in New York amid the coronavirus outbreak.
