Cops took a bite out of crime when they arrested a subway rider for chomping off part of a fellow straphanger’s finger in Jackson Heights.

[The chomper], 48, jumped the man aboard an F train nearing the Roosevelt Avenue station at 8:10 a.m. on Feb. 11, police said.

The man tried to fight off [the chomper], who bit off the top of the victim’s index finger, cops said.

[The chomper] was soon in handcuffs, said a spokeswoman for DA Richard Brown.

Surgeons reattached the victim’s digit.
