See It: Subway Passenger Spits On Child After Sparking Up Joint

NEW YORK CITY — A subway passenger was so mad he could spit — and he did — after a father told him to snuff out his joint, police said.

The marijuana-toking man yelled, spat on the father and the father's 4-year-old daughter and threatened the family with a knife during the Sept. 5 incident, authorities said.

A fellow straphanger caught the tense exchange on video being distributed by NYPD officers, who seek the spitter on suspicion of child endangerment.

The video shows the unidentified man, joint in hand, spit toward the father and daughter as the D line train rolls up to the Fordham Road subway station. The father and daughter left after the incident while the man remained on the southbound train.
