A woman sent straphangers into a frenzy when she released crickets on a train over the Manhattan Bridge.
A woman sent straphangers into a frenzy when she released crickets on a train over the Manhattan Bridge.
The bizarre incident took place on a Brooklyn-bound D train about 6:05 p.m. Wednesday, police said.
"Woman just let crickets out on the D Train as we went over the Manhattan Bridge," passenger Ezra Mechaber wrote on Twitter. "Panic ensued. Someone pulled the E-Brake. Stuck. New York."
Rory Frizell, 34, who rode in the train car while commuting home to Bensonhurst, told the Daily News he initially feared the worst when the commotion broke out and he heard a woman yell out, "she has a jar" and "close that!"
"We thought there was like a chemical attack," he said.
Frizell said there was pure pandemonium, with the crickets and worms causing a "bum rush" to the other side of the train.
The woman told the passengers she needed to vomit and started to dry heave. Then she said, "I have to s---" and tried to lift her dress.
A man on the train was able to calm her and kept her from making the frenzied situation worse, Frizell said.
"It was, in a word, chaotic. It was just utter chaos," he said.
