A maniac slashed a teen boy on a Bronx subway — as terrifying surveillance footage captured him stalking the platform while holding a giant blade after the random attack.

The stranger stormed up to the 16-year-old straphanger and began arguing before fighting the teen onboard a southbound 2 train as it rumbled toward the Prospect Avenue station in Melrose around 2 a.m. Tuesday, according to police.
