A hulking brute grabbed a 28-year-old MTA employee up in a bear hug at a Bronx train station, shoved her onto the platform and began choking her in an unprovoked attack - then ran away smiling, authorities said Wednesday.
The victim, who was on duty and in full uniform, was standing on the southbound platform of the East Tremont train station at 2:30 a.m. on Dec. 23 when the unidentified suspect ran up and attacked her.
After throttling the woman, the man hightailed it out of the station, police said. Surveillance cameras caught the man, wearing a black jacket, brown pants and black sneakers grinning as he made his way through the turnstile.
The MTA employee was rushed to a local hospital with minor injuries to her head, neck and back, officials said. Her position with the Transit Authority was not immediately disclosed.
