A teenager with a history of joyriding subway trains has once again been caught in the act, this time on the 2 train—just weeks after commandeering an R train.
The incident has sparked outrage among Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) officials, who are calling for stricter penalties.
The teen, known for bypassing security measures and taking control of subway cars, was apprehended by transit police after being spotted operating the 2 train without authorization.
This reckless behavior not only endangers passengers but also highlights security vulnerabilities within the MTA system.
Authorities are now considering harsher consequences, as repeat offenses raise serious concerns about public safety.
With transit officials working to prevent future incidents, this case underscores the need for stricter monitoring and enforcement within New York City’s subway system.
