Police are hunting for a crazed man who tossed a flaming container at a group of straphangers on a Manhattan subway platform last month.

Footage released by cops Wednesday showed a man holding two blazing cans filled with flammable liquid at a turnstile inside the West 28th Street subway station around 7:40 p.m. on Feb. 5.

The suspect then hurled one of the lit containers at a group on a southbound 1 train platform, police said.

The container didn’t hit anyone and there were no reported injuries. The suspect fled the station on foot, the NYPD said.

The attempted arson happened on Feb. 5.

Police are looking for a man who is about 35 year old, 6-feet tall with a slender build and brown eyes, police said. He was last seen in a gray hoodie and a jacket, pants and sandals that are all in black.

The attempted arson is part of a recent crime wave in the Big Apple’s transit system to start 2024, prompting Gov. Kathy Hochul to deploy more than 700 members of the National Guard and state police to conduct controversial bag checks.
