A woman selling crickets and worms on a New York City subway Wednesday threw them into a packed train and flew into a rage, causing chaos, the New York Post reported.
The woman entered the train and made overtures to passengers to buy her insects. A group of teens pushed the woman, causing her to “freak out” and release the bugs, the Post wrote. As she ranted and the bugs spread, commuters dispersed.
“It was pandemonium,” Chris Calabrese, 29, told the Post. “It was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen on a train.”
Twitter users who said they were there posted their accounts of the incident:
Here’s more footage:
Another passenger pulled the emergency brake as the train was crossing the Manhattan Bridge, according tot he New York Daily News. That left the line stalled over the East River for at least 15 minutes as some tried to restrain the woman, who had urinated on herself.
The train finally pulled into an underground station on the Brooklyn side where NYPD officers were waiting, the tabloid wrote. The woman was taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation. No injuries were reported.
