A New York City man, already known to police due to over 50 previous arrests, is facing fresh allegations after a series of five unprovoked anti-Asian attacks, including a shocking incident where he allegedly punched a subway passenger, causing the victim to fall onto the train tracks.

Clive Porter, aged 33, is accused of assaulting a 45-year-old man by striking him in the face at the Bowery and Delancey Street subway station in Lower Manhattan. The incident occurred around 4 p.m. on Wednesday, as reported by The New York Post.

The attack was reportedly one of several racially motivated incidents, with Porter allegedly shouting an anti-Asian slur at the victim before fleeing the scene. Fortunately, the victim managed to climb back onto the platform and received medical treatment for a swollen eye.

Porter has been charged with assault as a hate crime, reckless endangerment, and harassment, according to details obtained by The New York Post.

“Officers conducted a canvass of the area with the victim and took an individual into custody without further incident,” an NYPD spokesperson stated to Fox News Digital.

After being taken into custody, authorities connected Porter to four other attacks earlier in the day, according to The Post.

Porter’s string of violence began when he allegedly punched a 72-year-old man in the face — breaking his nose — at around 9:40 a.m. in the Lower East Side, The Post reported.

Just two minutes later, Porter allegedly approached a 33-year-old Asian man on Canal Street and punched him in the head, causing him to fall to the ground.

He is then accused of pick-pocketing an elderly Asian woman, according to The Post. Porter then allegedly turned his sights on another elderly woman, whom he assaulted at Forsyth Street and East Broadway.

Stemming from the string of alleged attacks, Porter is charged with assault as a hate crime, reckless endangerment and harassment, according to The Post.

However, Wednesday’s arrest is not Porter’s first brush with the law – he boasts a sweeping criminal history with 61 felonies, 24 misdemeanors and one violation, the outlet reported.

He was reportedly granted supervised release after allegedly punching a man in the face and threatening him with a knife in midtown Manhattan earlier this month, with prosecutors conceding the misdemeanor assault charge is not bail-eligible.

On the same day, police reportedly allege Porter threatened another man at knifepoint in the city’s iconic Times Square. He was also granted supervised release on the non-bail-eligible charges, The Post reported.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
