The “traumatized” young sisters who were randomly attacked by an unhinged stranger on a Brooklyn train this week are now terrified to ride the subway again, their father told The Post.
The siblings, 9 and 6 years old, were on a southbound Q train approaching the 7th Avenue station in Park Slope around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday when a man yelled in their faces and kicked both of them in the head, police said.
“They just got pain because they got beat up … They don’t want to go back to the train ever again,” their father, Ferrar Perez, said Thursday.
The girls were returning home to Brighton Beach after a trip to their uncle’s Manhattan home to drop off some clothing when they were randomly assaulted.
They had only boarded the Q train with their aunt just one stop earlier when the shopping cart-pushing maniac began “acting irrationally” and unleashed his rage, cops and relatives said.
“Anytime they see someone homeless they get scared. They say they don’t want to go back to the train because they’re scared. I need to find help for my daughters because they’re traumatized,” Perez said.
The young sisters were taken to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital after complaining of head pain, police said.
Though they were released in good condition, Perez took his daughters back to the hospital the next day to “double-check” that the crazed commuter hadn’t seriously injured the pair.
“They’re doing good. They just have pain,” Perez said.
“But my daughters don’t want to go back to the train.”
After attacking the sisters, the brute walked out of the subway station with his cart and has not been seen since.
Surveillance video of the subway station shows the yet-to-be-identified suspect hopping the turnstile before opening the emergency gate to bring his shopping cart onto the platform.
The unprovoked attacker is still on the loose, according to cops.
“I hope they catch the guy because he could hurt another kid,” said Perez.
