    A pack of teenage girls randomly attacked an elderly man on a Brooklyn subway platform early Monday — with at least one assailant whacking the victim with a scooter, cops and police sources said.

    The 76-year-old man was lying on a bench at the Rockaway Avenue subway station when the five suspects launched the assault, punching and kicking his head around 2:10 a.m., according to authorities.

    One of the perpetrators even swung her scooter at the man’s head in what sources said was an unprovoked attack on the northbound C line platform.
