A sicko tried to rape a woman in a terrifying attack inside a Lower East Side subway station early Monday — even flinging her phone off an escalator when she tried to dial 911, police said.
The victim, 30, was waiting for a northbound F train at the Rutgers Street and East Broadway station on the Lower East Side around 2:30 a.m. when the stranger approached her from behind and tried to strike up a conversation in Spanish, cops and sources said.
The victim wasn’t interested so she said she didn’t understand and tried to get away, making for the escalator, sources said.
