Police have arrested a teenage girl after an empty New York City subway train was taking on a brief joyride by two people before they crashed it and fled.
They are looking for a male companion they believe was also pictured on the train.
Surveillance photos released by the New York Police Department on Tuesday show one person dressed all in pink, including a pink shower cap, and another in a blue tank top.
Police arrested the 17-year-old girl Wednesday around noon local time. They have charged her with criminal mischief and reckless endangerment.
The pair boarded an unoccupied train parked at the Briarwood subway station in Queens just after midnight on September 12 and somehow got it running, police said in a news release.
They crashed it into another parked train and ran, police said.
It was unclear how much damage the prank caused. No injuries were reported.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
