A video released by the NYPD reveals the incident, which was captured by a cell phone on a Manhattan-bound train in the Bronx at around 3:20 p.m. on September 5.

The footage captured the alleged drug dealer sitting in his seat as he is seen spitting at the 35-year-old father and his four-year-old daughter, who were sitting on the other side of the doors just a few feet away from the man.

The man then gets up to get something out of his backpack while the father and daughter remain seated.

The man then angrily snaps a knife as he stands in the middle of the subway aisle with a menacing look on his face while looking at the cell phone camera.

Police said the father pulled his daughter off the train at the Fordham Road station in the Bronx, according to The Daily News.

However, the man reportedly remained on the train after the couple left. No injuries were reported as a result of the incident. Video was released Thursday by police in an attempt to identify the suspect.

This is the latest violent incident on a New York subway train. Just days earlier, on Sept. 9, a man brutally kicked a woman on the escalators at the Atlantic Ave.-Barclays Center station in Brooklyn.

The suspect kicked the victim in the chest after she asked him to say “excuse me” as he ran past her.
