The Brooklyn commuter who was struck with an umbrella, spat on and had racial slurs and profanities hurled at her by another female passenger says the attacker told her to 'f*** off' as soon as she got on the train.
The victim, identified by the New York Daily News as 24-year-old Michelle Tung, said at first, she did not think 40-year-old Brooklyn attorney Anna Lushchinskaya was addressing her on board a slow-moving D train at around 8am on Tuesday.
But then Tung says the slender blonde woman carrying a large Louis Vuitton bag purposefully bumped into her.
Anna Lushchinskaya is seen screaming 'f**k off, f**k off' at the woman standing beside her, and then takes her sunglasses off and pulls her hair back as if preparing for battle
The victim, 24-year-old Michelle Tung, who did not wish to show her face on camera, said that she did nothing to provoke the attack on board the D train Tuesday
'And I said, "Don't touch me with your bag," and then that's when the video started with the "f*** off,"' Tung told ABC Eyewitness News, referring to at least two viral cellphone recordings showing the violent altercation.
'She hit my phone and my hands,' Tung recalled, adding that she was scared, especially when Lushchinskaya grabbed a set of keys in her hand.
'I'm lucky that she didn't have any weapons on her, like knife, gun, 'cause it could've got [sic] a lot worse,' Tung said.
Tung said hearing Lushchinskaya use a racial slur against her 'really pissed' her off.
'It's fine, you're calling my a c***k, but I really am Chinese. I'm proud where I came from... I'm proud of my heritage.'
Tung also revealed that her attacker spat on her multiple times during the encounter.
'There's something wrong with her,' Tung added. 'I think she should be locked up at this point, and I'm lucky that it was me and not sometime else who wouldn't defend themselves.'
According to ABC, she suffered lacerations to her face.
Lushchinskaya was initially detained by another subway rider, who restrained her until police arrived. She was later charged with felony assault, marking the second time this year that she got in trouble with the law because of her conduct on board the D train.
Online records show that Lushchinskaya, who also uses the name Anna Luschchinsky, is an attorney with a small private practice in the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn.
She graduated from New York Law in 2004 and earned her license later that year. She has no history of public discipline, according to the New York State Unified Court System's website.
Tung says she is afraid to run into Lushchinskaya again because she knows the woman often takes the D train.
Video from the bizarre incident, shot by podcaster Juan Ayala, does not show what led to the altercation at 7.50am on the crowded train during the morning commute.
Lushchinskaya is seen screaming 'f**k off, f**k off' at the woman standing beside her, who is silent and appears preoccupied with her phone.
Lushchinskaya wields her small umbrella as a cudgel and continues to try to kick the other woman as other straphangers hold her back
Passengers hold Lushchinskaya back, before she shocks the crowded train by shouting 'f**king ch**k' at the other woman, who is Asian
The blonde aggressor then slaps at the other woman's hand, and appears to begin preparing for combat by taking her sunglasses and gloves off, pulling her hair back, and whipping out her umbrella.
After a minute of such agitated preparations, Lushchinskaya suddenly kicks the other woman, who kicks her back.
Other passengers intervene and try to break up the fight. 'Yo lady, just chill out ok?' one says, while another shouts 'please stop'.
'You're not letting me hit her back!' complains Lushchinskaya, who goes on to call a man who is trying to stop her a 'f**king retarded'.
Lushchinskaya wields her small umbrella as a cudgel and continues to try to kick the other passenger as others hold her back.
The woman who is being attacked, who has been silent throughout, finally pipes up, saying: 'You come touch me, I will punch you right back. I don’t care who the f**k you are.'
As Lushchinskaya continues trying to beat the woman, now identified as Tung, with her umbrella in a rage, a man intervenes and grabs the umbrella from her.
Juan Ayala, who filmed the video, detained the woman at the station until police arrived
'You're going to make us all late for work, b***h,' one man says.
Lushchinskaya spits on the floor and again screams 'f**k off' as she flicks off the woman she had been trying to fight.
'F**king ch**k,' Lushchinskaya then screamed at her foe, drawing gasps from the crowded train.
'What! What!' shouts Ayala, the man filming the video. 'Your white privilege ain't working over here, get the f**k out of here.'
'You already know she voted for Trump,' he continues.
Ayala, who hosts a podcast titled Juan & Nyle's Podcast, then swooped into action to make a citizen's arrest until police arrived.
'She tried me so I had to detain her until the cops showed up,' he said, posting a photo of himself holding her hands behind her back.
Another photo shows police taking Lushchinskaya into custody.
New York state law permits any private person to use physical force, other than deadly physical force, to detain a person who commits a felony in their presence, and is in fact guilty of the felony.
Another woman posted this image the day before Lushchinskaya's arrest. It appears to be of her getting into a separate altercation on a different train
It is apparently not the first time Lushchinskaya has gotten into altercations on the subway.
On Monday, one day before the D train arrest, a Twitter user posted a photo that appears to be Lushchinskaya, saying that on the R train 'this woman shoved me nearly on the the tracks with a [fist] full of keys then threaten to hit me w her umbrella'.
Court records also show that Lushchinskaya was arrested in June on charges of menacing, harassment, assault and criminal weapons possession after allegedly pepper-spraying a man on the D train at the 36th Street station.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
