A man stabbed a teen in the arm on an Upper Manhattan train after she ignored him when he asked for the time early Thursday, cops said.

The 19-year-old victim was on a No. 1 train at 181st Street in Washington Heights around 12:30 a.m. with her boyfriend, when a man approached and asked both of them for the time, police said.

He repeated the question multiple times, but they ignored him, cops said.

The man briefly turned away from the two straphangers, but then turned back and knifed the teen on the arm, police said.

She was taken to New York-Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia in stable condition.

The suspect fled from the train at 168th Street, police said.

The subways are definitely becoming the haven for the homeless.  I frequently take an E train in the early morning, and the homeless have effectively turned at least two cars into their own private sleeping car; yesterday, the end of one car was taken up with a "nest" of blankets that filled the car side to side.

You get what you vote for.
