The NYPD is looking for leads to track down a man who punched a subway operator in the face on Sunday.
The 47-year-old MTA employee was on the platform at the 74th St.-Broadway No. 7 train station in Jackson Heights when a man approached him, demanding, “Do you know me?” a source told the Daily News.
The perpetrator then proceeded to punch the train motorman in the face before fleeing on foot, police said.
The suspect was last seen wearing a black ski mask, a black jacket, black pants, black shoes and glasses, police said. The train operator suffered minor injuries in the attack.

The assault is the latest in a spate of attacks on transit workers. An angry straphanger clocked a conductor in Far Rockaway on Thursday, apparently enraged he’d missed his stop.
Last week the Transport Workers Union reported that another train conductor had been shot with rubber BB pellets while working on a No. 6 train.
