A New York father and his young daughter were spat on and threatened with a knife by a male passenger after asking him to stop smoking marijuana on the train.
A video released by the NYPD revealed the incident which was captured on a cellphone on a Manhattan D-Bound train in the Bronx at around 3.20pm on September 5.
The footage captured the alleged pothead sitting in his seat as he was seen spitting on the 35-year-old father and his four-year-old daughter, who were seated on the other side of the doors a few feet away from the man.
The man then stands up to get something from his backpack as the father and daughter remain sitting.
The man then angrily clicks a knife as he stands in the middle of the subway aisle with a threatening glare as he stares at the cellphone camera.

Police said that the father then took his daughter off the train at Fordham Road station in the Bronx, according to The Daily News.
It was reported, however, that the man stayed on the train after the pair left. No injuries were reported as a result of the incident.
The video was released on Thursday by police in an attempt to identify the suspect.
DailyMail.com reached out to the NYPD for a statement.
This incident is just one of many other New York subway crimes reported this year.

This is the latest violent incident on a New York City subway train. Just days earlier, on September 9, a man brutally kicked a woman down an an escalator at the Atlantic Ave.-Barclays Center station in Brooklyn.
The victim was kicked in the chest by the suspect after she asked him to say 'excuse me' when he rushed past her.
Surveillance cameras captured the chilling moment the victim fell backwards to the bottom of the escalator as the suspect continued up the escalator and out of the station.
Police say the woman suffered cuts and bruises to her back, arms, legs, right knee and right thigh and trauma to her left ankle, noting that she refused medical attention at the scene.
'This was more than stairs. Escalators are spiky and moving. They're bigger and sharp,' the 32-year-old female victim said.
'All over my body. I'm covered [in cuts] like I was clawed by a tiger.'
The suspect has not yet been identified by police.
