A violent crew pummeled an on-duty MTA worker during a clash inside a Bronx subway station this week, cops said. 

The 55-year-old employee was in the mezzanine of the Bruckner Boulevard and Hunts Point Avenue No. 6 train station around 1:45 a.m. Tuesday when the four miscreants approached him and started a fight, police said. 

Two male suspects repeatedly punched the worker in the face before running off on foot, cops said.

The violence came just days after a crazed man identified as illegal Honduran migrant Bairon Hernandez, 34, allegedly shoved two men — 83 and 30 — onto the subway tracks at the Lexington Avenue-63rd Street station Sunday afternoon, authorities said.

Last week, an unhinged man identified as Sergio Santiago, 41, allegedly threw an unknown object at an NYPD cop’s head at the Fordham Road subway station in the Bronx while the officer tried to arrest him for an earlier stabbing, cops said.

The NYPD previously revealed transit crime spiked nearly 20% in February as cold weather policies prevented cops from booting rule-breaking passengers from the subway.
