Gothamist reports:
A group of people took control of two subway cars stored at a train yard in Queens, driving them a “short distance” before fleeing on foot, the NYPD said Thursday.
Police said the group entered the train operator compartments of two “lead cars” that control trains on Dec. 30 around 4:45 p.m. The trains were stored in a yard near the Forest Hills-71st Avenue subway station.
Police didn’t say how many people were among the group of alleged intruders. But the incident appears to have been posted to social media, capturing the group laughing giddily as a train pulls up to another car.
Read the full article. In a separate incident, 24 people suffered minor injuries late yesterday when two trains collided on the Upper West Side while one was undergoing repairs to vandalized brake cords. The 1-2-3 lines were still snarled for this morning’s commute.
They saw the empty subway cars at Forest Hills, hopped in the cab and moved on out, police say. https://t.co/EDa6ydDggd

This is a scary video of a @NYCTSubway train being illegally operated down a tunnel by kids.
I received an email saying the kids operating these trains are getting access from an NYCT manager.
The @MTA isn’t going to care until someone gets killed #breakingnews #goodmorning… pic.twitter.com/hlw4hLj2pE
