Two people are accused of taking a subway ride… and police arrested one and searched for the other after they say the duo tried to operate a subway train but ultimately crashed.
A new video, released by the NYPD, shows two people, a man and a woman, in a dark subway car in Queens last week. The woman is wearing an all-pink outfit, complete with a pink shower cap. The man is wearing a blue sleeveless t-shirt and red sports shorts.
The video only shows the two walking through the car… but, cops say they then tried to play driver, making the subway move about 50 feet before crashing it.
Police announced they arrested the woman in the clip… and took her into custody on Wednesday. They say she is 17 years old and they have charged her with first-degree criminal mischief and first-degree reckless endangerment.
Police say they are still looking for the guy in the tank top and shorts.
Demetrius Crichlowacting president of New York City Transit, called the theft “an extremely foolish and reckless act” during a press conference earlier in the week.
