\u201cSuccession\u201d star Brian Cox<\/a> threatened a fellow straphanger with a gun after the pair traded insults over mothers and penis size, cops and the victim said Wednesday.<\/p>\nChristopher Sallas, 20, was baffled to be accosted by the doppelganger of the Scottish thespian while heading home from a concert on a Q train late last month \u2014 and told The Post that he saw the resemblance.<\/p>\n
The goateed menace flew into a rage when the 20-year-old victim warned him he felt nauseous on board the train. NYPD<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, it was kind of funny in the moment. Like I said, after everything happened, after your adrenaline calms down, that\u2019s when you get to think about the situation and see what happened,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
The elderly train bully could serve as stunt double for 79-year-old Cox \u2014 complete with the same white goatee \u2014 who played a cut-throat media mogul on the hit HBO series, surveillance footage shows.<\/p>\n
The gun-toting brute allegedly flipped out after Sallas warned him that he was feeling queasy and might want to steer clear the night of April 26.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe got upset. I don\u2019t know why. He just got upset and was like, \u2018Oh, I don\u2019t give a f\u2013k if you have to throw up,’\u201d Sallas said.<\/p>\n
Sallas, who was nauseous from motion sickness and too much food and drink,\u00a0 snapped back, \u201cYou don\u2019t have to be f\u2013king rude!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The creep allegedly flashed a small black revolver at the victim as he and his girlfriend made a beeline for the exit. NYPD<\/p>\n
The comment infuriated the armed lookalike \u2014 prompting him to taunt Sallas by yelling that he has \u201ca little d\u2013k.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cOh yeah, the same one that does your mom and your girl,\u201d\u00a0 Sallas shot back.<\/p>\n
The suspect turned out to be as touchy about his family honor as Cox\u2019s Logan Roy character\u2013 and flew into a rage over the \u201cmomma\u201d-type quip as the train pulled into the Jay Street station, said Sallas, who was riding home from a DDG rap concert with his girlfriend.<\/p>\n
The victim said he expected the decades-older commuter to be \u201cunderstanding,\u201d of his predicament. NYPD<\/p>\n
\u201cHe got up before the train door opened\u2026 to come towards me. I just ended up getting off the train,\u201d\u00a0 Sallas said. \u201cSo after that, I [saw] my girlfriend running, but then I turned around and he had one foot in the car and one foot out [of] the car.\u201d<\/p>\n
The suspect then flashed a\u00a0 \u201csmall black revolver\u201d and pointed it at Sallas before he got back on board, according to the victim and surveillance footage.<\/p>\n
The gunman, seen wearing a hooded black coat, fled the scene, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sallas soon realized the subway menace looked strikingly similar to the \u201cSuccession\u201d star, who has also appeared in movies such as \u201cBraveheart,\u201d \u201cManhunter\u201d and \u201cBourne Identity.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said he expected the decades-older commuter to be \u201cunderstanding,\u201d of his predicament \u2013 adding, \u201cI didn\u2019t expect that type of reaction from him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if it was somebody around my age, I still would have told them,\u201d Sallas added. \u201cNo matter what, nobody wants to be next to somebody throwing up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEven after I got off the train, when I started talking to the cops, I even started throwing up, like I wasn\u2019t lying or anything,\u201d he recalled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
