A wacko who’s already been arrested a whopping 86 times slugged a stranger onto Manhattan subway tracks during a series of five random anti-Asian attacks, cops and sources said.
Clive Porter, 33 – who was most recently cut loose because of the state’s lax bail reform laws – is accused of randomly sucker-punching a 45-year-old man in the face, sending him tumbling onto the roadbed at the Bowery and Delancey Street station around 4 p.m. Wednesday, cops and sources said.
“Asian f–k,” he allegedly seethed before running off, according to the sources.
The victim hoisted himself back up onto the platform and was treated for a swollen eye.
Porter was arrested less than an hour later at Grand and Forsyth streets, police said.
He was charged with assault as a hate crime, harassment and reckless endangerment, authorities said.
While in custody, an irate Porter – who has a dozen “emotionally disturbed person” incidents on his record – allegedly spat on one officer in the 5th Precinct NYPD headquarters and headbutted another at Bellevue Hospital, the sources said.
Investigators then charged the maniac with several other incidents earlier the same day.
In the first case, around 9:40 a.m., a 72-year-old man was randomly punched in the face on Hester Street near Elridge Street, the sources said.
The blow left the senior hospitalized with a broken nose, the sources said.
Only two minutes passed before cops believe Porter set his sights on the next victim, a 33-year-old Asian man walking on Canal Street near Forsyth Street, according to the sources.
He allegedly punched that victim in the head, causing him to fall to the ground, the sources said.
A minute later, he allegedly pickpocketed an elderly Asian woman on Eldridge Street near Division Street, but did not injure her, according to the sources.
Then, Porter allegedly assaulted another elderly woman at Forsyth Street and East Broadway, the sources said.
Porter’s extensive criminal history includes 61 felonies, 24 misdemeanors and one violation, the sources said.
Most recently, he allegedly clutched a knife as he snarled, “Yeah motherf–ker” at a man at Park Avenue and East 33rd Street around 8:30 p.m. Oct. 14, according to a criminal complaint.
Then Porter allegedly socked the victim in the face – causing him to briefly black out and leaving him with bruising and swelling – before threatening him with the knife, the court doc reveals.
A judge granted Porter supervised release, as requested by prosecutors, because the top charge – misdemeanor assault – is not bail-eligible, the District Attorney’s Office said.
The same day, around 7:45 a.m. in the heart of Times Square at West 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue, Porter is accused of storming up to another man while pointing a knife at him, prosecutors said.
The frightened victim ran off and fell to the ground, suffering severe leg pain, according to the complaint.
Porter was also granted supervised release on the non-bail-eligible charges, the DA’s office said.
His rap sheet also includes a September arrest for criminal possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell in Brooklyn, the sources said.
He was also busted for criminal trespass in the transit system in January – the same day cops linked him to an assault with an ice pick inside a Lower Manhattan train station, the sources said.
In December 2023, he was busted for allegedly scrawling the words, “Death to gays” inside the Flatbush Avenue-Grand Army Plaza station in Brooklyn, the sources said.
He was also nabbed back in 2022 for allegedly drawing a swastika on the facade of MTA headquarters near Bowling Green, according to the sources.
