A man was punched in the face in an early Thursday attack at the Times Square subway station, cops said. 

The 55-year-old victim was waiting on the northbound No. 1 train platform within the buzzing tourist hub around 6:15 a.m. when two men approached and at least one socked him in the face, police said. 

He suffered a cut on his eye, cops said. It’s unclear whether he received medical treatment. 

The suspects ran off after the attack.
