NYPD detectives are searching for a hooded man who was filmed spray-painting the words “Kill the Homeless” inside a Manhattan subway car — a week after a crazed migrant torched a homeless woman to death while she slept on an F train in Brooklyn.

The incident, which also unfolded on the F train, was shared to Instagram on Dec. 29, although it is unclear what day the footage was captured.

The woman who shot the video claimed the unidentified man — who was dressed entirely in black with a hoodie and sunglasses — sat down and scrawled the offensive phrase in black across one of the train’s light blue seats.

The man started writing “Kill the Homeless” as the train was pulling into the station at West Fourth Street and Sixth Avenue.

The man nonchalantly scribbled each letter as the woman filming remarked in astonishment, “Kill the homeless … You see him?”

Finishing the phrase in haste, he then calmly exits the stopped train without acknowledging or looking at the woman filming him.

The incident comes amid a spate of underground attacks, including the New Year’s Eve shoving of an unsuspecting straphanger onto the tracks, in front of an arriving train.

Some of the video’s commenters suggested the man be charged with a hate crime, but conceded at most, he’d receive a fine. Others said he will likely never face justice.

The message comes less than a week after Debrina Kawam, 57, was murdered on an F train.

“If they found Luigi [Mangione], they can find him,” wrote one commenter.
