Cat Shuts Down Uptown A Train Service Thursday Morning
Thursday morning A train service shut down between 168th Street and 207th Street because the NYPD was trying to catch a cat on the track.
WASHINGTON HEIGHTS-INWOOD, NY — When a cat crosses your path it's said to be bad luck. When a cat crosses the MTA's path it causes a full service shutdown.
Upper Manhattan A train service was halted Thursday morning as police attempted to corral a cat on the track of the 175th Street station. Trains were stalled between 168th and 207th streets, the MTA announced on Twitter.
