Video Of Man Throwing Smoke Bomb Into Restaurant From Subway Grate

subwaycreatures

 

Gothamist: The police have released a new video of the suspect who threw a smoke bomb into a Greenwich Village restaurant on Friday night. You can see him slowly opening the subway grate—prompting one pedestrian to walk around the grate—and then emerging to toss the device. The suspect then quickly ducks back underground. (This subway grate connects to the West 4th Street subway station.) The smoke bomb was thrown into Bar Pitti, which is located at 268 Avenue of the Americas and has a popular sidewalk seating area, around 5:49 p.m. It’s also a celebrity hangout. Da Silvano’s manager denies his restaurant was behind the attack; the Post reports: Da Silvano owner Silvano Marchetto and his former business partner, Bar Pitti’s Giovanni Tognozzi, have been beefing over stolen meatball recipes and corporate back-stabbing since 2002. “I know about the fighting, but I haven’t heard anything about it in a very long time,” said the manager, who identified himself as Alessio. Police sources said they do not believe that the rivalry played a role, but have ruled nothing out. The Post adds, “The bomb was made by a UK company and is sold on Amazon.com and eBay for as little as $8.” Cops describe the suspect as around 20 years old, with blond wavy hair. He was last seen wearing black gloves, black baseball cap, and a multi colored t-shirt. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

Gothamist: Oh, the things that land in our inbox, like this video of a man rubbing one out on the M train. The unfortunate witness who documented this act and uploaded it to YouTube says, “Ladies if you live in Brooklyn New York, please watchout for this nasty ass old man, notify the Brooklyn PD.” Press play to watch this NSFW cross between Chris Ware and R. Crumb come life. What the hell is it with people men? We have passed this along to the NYPD and we’ll let you know if they ever catch this guy. In the meantime, here’s our refresher on what to do the next time you see some dude expose himself on the subway.

 

I just don’t get it, I really don’t. Pulling your dick out on the train with people sitting around you. Needless to say, keep an eye out for this guy on the trains in Brooklyn.

WARNING: Bedbugs Have Been Discovered On Three N Trains In NYC This Week

bedbugs

Gawker: If you’re a regular commuter or tourist in New York City, here’s some exciting news: Earlier this week, MTA officials discovered that three N trains were infested with bedbugs. The New York Daily News reports that two of the trains were taken out of service while a third was sent for fumigation. “When we found them, we exterminated them,” Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokesman Adam Lisberg told the Daily News. At least some of the bugs were found in the cabs used by the trains’ motorman and conductors; it’s not clear if any were discovered in the passenger area.

Theyyyyyyy’re baaaaaack! Let’s be honest, they never went anywhere but it’s been a while since the last big outbreak of bedbugs in NYC. Let’s just put this on our list of things this great summer has brought us like sweltering heat, sky rocketing rent, and possible Ebola. What was it Frank Sinatra said? If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere? Yes, I’m starting to think that is very true!

Some Guy Farted On The Train; Here’s Everyone’s Reaction

Our cameraman admitted to farting on the subway and as you can see it looked absolutely terrible. People seeking air as if the train were filling up with mustard gas. The only thing that could make it worse is if the train got stuck–oh wait, that happened too. You gotta give it to the guy though, he not only took pride in his own stench but was a dead giveaway by filming everyone with a smile on his face.

 

 

Some Woman Tried To Turn A NYC Subway Car Into A Slip N Slide

There’s been a lot of shit going on in the subway this past week but none that really top what happened on the Q train yesterday. Some ratchet chick decided to turn a pretty empty car into a fuckin’ slip-n-slide. Yes, she was sliding around the floor of the subway car on her stomach like a massive walrus. I believe one commenter put it the best way possible: I think she just caught the herpagonasyphilaids. Ha! She would be lucky if that’s all she got.

NYC Rat Terrifies Commuters On The A Train

subwaycreatures

 

Youtube: A usually boring Monday morning commute to work at Brooklyn was stirred up by this little guy. He joined us at the Fulton street station on the A train going downtown. Someone getting off the train was screaming “RAT on the train!”. But by the time everyone realized what was happening, the doors closed and the train entered the tunnel. We were stuck with him till the other end.

 

Well I guess that’s one way to snap out of your Monday morning funk than spending $10 on a Starbucks coffee. Imagine the terror on people’s faces when someone yells RAT just as the subway doors close? Pure panic. And this is the A train baby! No switching in between cars on this one.

Side note: Love this lady! It’s like she’s been there and done this a million times with this positioning.
