“NYPD reports vicious attackers hiss ‘Asian pig’ in attack on NYC straphanger”

A hate-spewing trio called a man an “Asian pig” and kicked and punched him on a Midtown train after demanding that he and a female companion give up their seats, cops said Sunday.

The three suspects, a man and two women, approached their 42-year-old victim and his 41-year-old female companion, who are both Asian, on the shuttle train from Grand Central Station to Times Square around 8 p.m. Saturday, police said.

The suspects ordered the victims to give up their seats, cops said. When that apparently didn’t happen, the suspects punched and kicked the male victim, leaving him with a small cut on his head, according to cops.

The suspects then fled the train at Times Square.

The victim refused medical attention, cops said.
