A wisecracking straphanger who filmed an unhinged woman spewing racist slurs at an Asian woman — and attacking her and fellow passengers — helped cops reel her in at the end of torturous commute Tuesday.
Video posted of the drawn-out D-train fracas shows a woman police identified as Anna Lushchinskaya spitting, cursing and kicking several people around 7:30 am.
The man, who documented her tirade and goes by the Twitter handle Platano Man, turned the camera on himself to inject commentary.
It begins with a white woman yelling “f--- off” repeatedly at an Asian woman and then slapping at her cell phone.
Platano Man turns the phone in his direction with a knowing eyebrow raise.
The white woman then carefully adjusts her purse, removes her sunglasses and gloves and pulls back her hair — and then unleashes a flurry of violent kicks on her target.
The woman kicks back in self-defense but otherwise doesn’t react.
It’s not enough to calm Lushchinskaya, however, who begins swinging her umbrella and then a heavy key chain at the Asian woman — even as multiple passengers try to intercede.
“She’s not even fighting you back,” says one man.
“It’s too early for this s--t,” Platano Man says, then after hearing more commotion, adds: “Back to our regularly scheduled programming.”
After fiddling with her phone, the woman then spits at another passenger and yells: “F---in beloved patriot.”
“Your white privilege ain’t working here. F--- outta here with that racist s--t,” Platano says. “You already know she voted for Trump.”
Platano Man then moves closer and mocks her.
She spits on him and calls him Muhammad.
“B-tch, I’m Dominican,” he says. “I just had a bacon egg and cheese yesterday. Literally the whole world is laughing at you.”
The woman then slaps at him and he pounces and holds her to the ground.
“We’ve gotta detain her till the cops come. I’m not going to hit a woman, but do not spit on me,” he says, and then puts her into a headlock.
Platano Man later posted a picture in which he appears to be holding the woman before cops arrive.
Lushchinskaya of Brooklyn was arrested shortly after getting off the train on 8th Ave. She was also arrested for assault in June.
