A woman was waiting for a train at a subway station in The Bronx last week when a stranger smeared human feces on her face without any provocation.
The stomach-turning incident took place at 5.15pm on February 21 on the southbound platform at the East 241st Street station.
Surveillance video from the station that was released by the New York City Police Department on Monday shows the victim, described as a 43-year-old woman, sitting on a bench waiting for a train.

The revolting attack took place without any apparent provocation during the evening rush hour
A man walks along the platform carrying a plastic bag. Suddenly, he lunges at the woman and appears to shove the bag into her face.
When the woman leans forward, the attacker walks behind her and presses the contents of the bag, said to be human excrement, against the back of her head and her back.
The video released by the police offers a clear image of the suspect, who is seen wearing black pants, an oversized blue sweater, and a ballcap over a durag, and carrying a large duffle bag slung over his shoulder.
The NYPD announced a reward of up to $3,500 for information leading to the assailant’s arrest.

The incident took place just three days after NYC Mayor Eric Adams unveiled the Subway Safety Plant to deploy 1,000 cops in the transit system
The incident took place just three days after New York City Mayor Eric Adams rolled out the Subway Safety Plan meant to crack down on violence in crime-ridden transport system.
As part of the initiative, 1,000 police officers have been deployed on several subway lines to boost public safety.
A week after Adams’ announcement, Dr Nina Rothschild, a NYC Department of Health scientist, was kicked down a flight of stairs and struck repeatedly with a hammer at the Queens Plaza subway station, leaving her in a critical condition.
On Sunday, police picked up 57-year-old William Blount in connection with the savage attack, charging him with attempted murder, robbery and assault.
There has been a spate of crimes committed by homeless individuals, including a break-dancer who was stabbed by a homeless man earlier this month and Michelle Go’s murder, where the 40-year-old was pushed beneath a train in January by a homeless man with a history of mental illness.
So far this year there have been 320 crimes in the transit system – a 60 percent increase compared to the same period last year.
Crime across the board is on the rise in New York, with murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, grand larceny and hate crime rates all increasing.
