A convicted child rapist on parole slashed his ex-girlfriend and then pushed her onto Manhattan subway tracks in front of their teenage daughters, prosecutors alleged Thursday.

Michael Blount, 29, grabbed the 37-year-old victim by the hair and tried to slit her throat while she was waiting for an A train at the 125th Street station around 11 p.m. on Nov. 5, according to the District Attorney’s Office. Manhattan.

The victim tried to protect herself by preventing the attacker from reaching her neck as he repeatedly slashed her face with a razor blade, prosecutors said.

Blount allegedly pushed the woman onto the tracks, just feet from her daughters, who were able to get their mother onto the platform just 2 minutes before the next train arrived, according to the district attorney’s office.

The psychopath fled and evaded police for several weeks, all while calling, texting and harassing the victim and her daughters, prosecutors said.

He was finally arrested on Dec. 28 and formally charged Wednesday with attempted murder and other charges.

“As alleged, Michael Blount brutally cut his ex-girlfriend before pushing her onto train tracks in front of his teenage daughters,” District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement.

“Despite what must have been a terrifying attack, one of her daughters was able to pull her mother off the tracks, likely saving her life.”

Just before the chilling attack, Blount had molested his ex-girlfriend and her children at a Harlem deli.

Before the attack, Blount had allegedly harassed his ex-girlfriend and her family at a Harlem deli after calling her repeatedly, according to court documents.

She turned her back on him and left the store with her daughters, but Blount followed them downstairs to the A train station, prosecutors charged.
