A disturbed man threatening strangers on a Manhattan subway train died after getting into a brawl with one of the passengers, cops said Tuesday.
The 30-year-old victim was on an F train heading toward the Broadway-Lafayette station in NoHo when he began acting erratically around 2:30 p.m. Monday, passengers told police.
He began yelling at commuters, prompting an argument with a 24-year-old stranger, cops said.
The quarrel turned into a brawl as the train entered the station, cops said.
During the fight, the younger man put the victim in a chokehold, police sources said.
The victim fell unconscious on the train and was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital, where he died.
The younger man was taken in for questioning but released without charges.
A city Medical Examiner autopsy has been slated to determine what killed the victim.
