Two years after he admittedly slashed a Muslim taxi driver’s neck while shouting, “This is your checkpoint, mother f—er!” an ex-School of Visual Arts student will fight attempted murder charges at trial — by arguing he’d had post traumatic stress syndrome from working on his film thesis in Afghanistan.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Richard Carruthers set October 25 as the trial date for Michael Enright, 23, who lives with his mother in Brewster, NY.

Enright nearly killed Ahmed Sharif in August, 2010 after the cabby, a native of Bangladesh, told him he was a Muslim as they drove on East 39th Street, prosecutors allege.

Defense lawyer Lawrence Fisher has said Enright suffered from alcoholism and was mentally damaged from the more than a month he spent embedded with the Marines in Afghanistan as part of his senior thesis at the school.

Enright faces a maximum 25 years prison if convicted.
