Gravesande is accused of splashing a chemical onto the face of a subway rider following a dispute at the Nostrand Avenue and Winthrop Street subway station, according to the NYPD.
Authorities say the victim sustained serious damage and burns to half of her face.
Subway riders present during the attack recalled the incident as "chaos."
"It was a very dangerous situation," said Brian Chapman.
