A Williamsburg man says he was attacked by another man with a hammer on the F train last Tuesday.

Noah Santos, 34, says his only thought during the encounter was getting home safely to his four children.

Santos says he was sitting on the train when a random guy pulled a hammer out and started swinging it in his face, demanding money.

He then handed over $100.

The NYPD says the encounter happened near the 15th St.-Prospect Park train station at around 6:30 p.m.

Police have not found the suspect believed to be involved in the incident.
