The attacker – believed to be between 15 and 18 years old himself – then got off the train at the Broad Channel Station and fled, cops said.

The pair did not know each other and did not exchange words before the brutal assault, law enforcement sources said.

A photo released by the NYPD on Monday showed the slender suspect, described as having a dark complexion and brown eyes, bundled up in a black winter coat, wearing a blue surgical mask, blue jeans and black shoes.
