A man wearing an American flag bandanna over his face slashed a woman in Ditmas Park on March 10.

The nationalistic good-for-nothing came up from behind the woman on Beverly Road between Rugby and Argyle roads around 9:45 am and knifed her in the neck, police said. The two are apparently strangers and did not interact before the attack, law enforcement sources said. It did not appear to be racially motivated, cops said.

The woman went to Maimonides Medical Center in stable condition, police said.

Cops recovered two knives at the scene, officials said.

It is the most recent in a spate of random slashings that motivated the Guardian Angels to renew subway patrols after more than a decade.
