New York City police are searching for a group of people they say took a subway train on a joyride.
The department released images and video Wednesday of six individuals who they say commandeered an unoccupied “R” train over the weekend.
Surveillance video from inside the train shows the group, who all wore jackets with their hoods up, as they exited the conductor’s compartment and walked through the otherwise empty car.
A video of the group on their joyride was also shared on Instagram.
The clip shows one of them seated at the controls while another appears to be sitting on the outside of the car, their legs dangling over the edge.
The department said Thursday that they believe the joyride occurred around 10 p.m. Saturday at the 36th Street and 4th Avenue Subway Station in Brooklyn.
Police and transit officials have not said how long and how far the suspects travelled in the stolen train. They said the suspects damaged glass panels on the train’s camera.
The group fled on foot, according to police. No injuries were reported.
Spokespersons for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said they are working with police on the investigation.
Police in September said two teens took an empty subway train in Queens on a brief joyride before crashing it and fleeing.
