Police say it was another woman who threw the bleach and that the attack was unprovoked.
A witness on the platform says he tried to help.
"She was messed up, but she didn't say nothing. She kept her mouth shut because I guess she was in shock or something. When it happened, she [ducked] like this. If she had said 'aaah' or screamed or anything, we would have been on it," the witness said.
Investigators are now looking for the suspect.
The victim was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital to be treated for the burn.
She's expected to be OK.
