BRONX - A lunatic who hacked a straphanger with a machete inside a Bronx subway car has been identified by cops.

The NYPD is looking for 64-year-old Runadieo Jordan as the main suspect in the brutal attack on a subway rider in the Bronx.

At around 1 am on August 31, a 31-year-old male was riding a northbound Number 2 train. As the train approached the Allerton Avenue station, a man approached the straphanger and began arguing with him.

Cops said without warning, the man pulled a machete out of a duffel bag and began hacking the straphanger in the arm.

The attacker jumped off the train at the Allerton Avenue station.

EMS rushed the victim to Jacobi Medical Center where he is listed in stable condition. He suffered cuts to his arm and hand.

The suspect is described as a male with a dark complexion and slim build. He was last seen wearing a grey t-shirt under a blue button down shirt with a name tag on the left pocket. He also wore a black balaclava, sunglasses and a Chicago Bulls baseball cap.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
