Cops are investigating a brutal assault aboard a southbound 4 train Saturday morning.
According to police, at around 7:45 a.m. on Feb. 18, an unknown perp approached a 26-year-old man aboard the train and grabbed him by his collar. A brief struggle ensued and, when the train entered the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall station, the suspect dragged the victim to the platform floor before punching him several times in the face.

The suspect was last seen wearing a black hooded jacket with red lettering, a blue and yellow shirt, blue pants, and yellow sneakers.
