Queens subway train hijacked, ends in crash

Two individuals managed to infiltrate an unoccupied train at a Queens subway station, briefly commandeering the vehicle before it ended in a crash, according to local authorities.

The incident has left both the train and the station reeling from the aftermath of the unexpected adventure.

The New York Police Department has released images of the culprits, a man and a woman, who somehow gained access to the train stationed at Briarwood subway station just after the clock struck midnight on Thursday.

Authorities are still piecing together how the duo managed this daring feat, but it’s clear that their unauthorized ride was short-lived.

“The suspects entered the vacant train and took control for a brief period,” a police spokesperson detailed. “Their actions resulted in a collision, leaving the locomotive damaged.” The exact nature of the collision and the extent of the damage remain under investigation, but the incident has raised significant concerns about security protocols at the station.

The NYPD is actively seeking information from the public to identify and apprehend the suspects involved in this unusual incident. As investigators work to uncover further details, questions about the ease of access to critical infrastructure are already prompting discussions about bolstering security measures across the city’s extensive subway system.
