A man wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap suffered for his political views when he was choked on a Bronx-bound subway train.
The 24-year-old man boarded a Bronx-bound 5 express in Union Square on Friday afternoon. His assailant sat next to him for most of the trip, and moved to an opposite seat as the train emptied out.
From his side of the car, the suspect saw the victim’s red MAGA hat.
“Are you a Trump supporter?” he asked.
“Yes,” the man answered.
“Oh great — another white Trump supporter,” the suspect said, according to police.
He then wrapped his hand around the neck of the hat-wearing fan of the president-elect, said cops.
The struggle ended at the 138th Street-Grand Concourse station in Mott Haven, when both men left the train. The suspect took off, and the victim contacted cops.
The Trump supporter was not seriously hurt. The suspect is described as in his 30s.
