Rat Wakes Up Subway Cat Napper

Thursday, 13 January 2011 | by Pat's Picks

We’ve all seen them scurrying between the tracks as the train emerges. On a particularly bad day, you might find one sitting next to you on the platform bench. But thankfully, it’s a rare day that a rat actually enters a New York City subway car. Cue the terrifying video below. If you can past the annoying video stamp that the producers burned into this footage, I guarantee it’ll be a long time before you deign to take a cat nap on the train.

For New Yorkers who are curious, NYCtheBlog.com reports this happened on the 4 train in Brooklyn near Franklin Avenue.

The rat is not the only animal to hop a ride with the MTA. Remember this polite pigeon we featured back in April of 2010?
