Cops are looking for the two women who violently assaulted a 16-year-old girl with a chemical spray on a subway platform in Flatbush on Thursday. 

According to investigators, the suspects approached the victim as she was awaiting a train at Flatbush Avenue-Brooklyn College subway station, before engaging her in a hearted shouting match. 

Things quickly escalated, and the perps began punching her repeatedly, before one of them brandished a spray bottle and hit the victim with an unknown aerosol substance that caused her to feel a burning sensation. 

The suspects fled before authorities arrived. Paramedics, meanwhile, rushed the victim to Kings County Hospital for treatment.
