"The horrific assault, which was captured on CCTV, occurred as fellow passengers looked on, making no attempt to intervene.
Thomas Scantling, 26, has been charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault.
Police say he entered the train with his five-year-old son and directed the boy to a seat, before pulling a hammer from a backpack and attacking a sleeping passenger.
At least 10 other people were in the carriage but police said none of them tried to stop the attack, which later spilled out on to the platform.
The CCTV shows a man lean down to pick an object out of his bag before turning to a figure sitting next to one of the doors and starting to beat him ferociously.
When the doors open at the next station the victim jumps out with the attacker continuing to lash out at him.
Pam Williams, who witnessed the assault, said that the suspect was saying during the alleged attack: "I don't know you, I don't know you, something about Allah.
"It could have been anybody, anyone of us.""
