Passengers pulled the emergency brakes at two Lower Manhattan subway stations during the rush hour commute on Wednesday, according to the New York City Transit Authority. Train service, which has since resumed with delays, was seriously disrupted.
Someone pulled the brakes on multiple trains, according to the MTA.
“There are multiple people being disruptive on this train who are pulling the [R] train's emergency brakes,” tweeted NYC Transit, just before 8 a.m. “We've requested NYPD assistance, and they will respond as soon as possible.”
