A shocking and bizarre incident occurred in New York City when a teenage girl, donning a bright pink outfit and even a shower cap, managed to sneak into an empty subway train and take it for a spin. The 17-year-old, accompanied by another individual, is accused of breaking into the train at the Briarwood station in Queens and successfully starting the engine. CCTV footage captured the duo walking into the occupied car late last Thursday.
According to the New York Police Department, the pair operated the train recklessly, resulting in a collision and damage to the train. Fortunately, no one was injured in the chaotic joyride. However, the girl has been arrested and charged with mischief and reckless endangerment. The interim president of the New York City Transit Authority, Demetrius Crichlow, condemned the incident, calling it an "extremely foolish and reckless act." He also expressed concern over the lack of clarity on how the teenagers were able to start the train.
The CCTV footage showed the pair driving the train for about 50 feet before the train came to a halt. Authorities are now aggressively installing security cameras to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. The male suspect who accompanied the girl is still at large. He is described as having a slim build, light complexion, and was last seen wearing a blue tank top, red shorts, and a black backpack.
The girl, who was wearing a crop top, hotpants, and a bag, has been charged with criminal mischief and reckless endangerment. However, her accomplice remains unidentified and is being sought by the police. The extent of the damage caused by the joyriding duo is still unknown.

This is not the first time an empty train has been stolen in New York City. In January 2013, a woman in her early 20s stole an empty train in Stockholm, Sweden, and drove it before it derailed and crashed into an apartment building. In a similar incident eight months ago, another train was stolen at the Forest Hills-71st Avenue station in Queens. Thankfully, no one was injured and no damage was caused in that incident either. Authorities suspect that a stolen key was used in that case.
