Hooded Man Purposefully Put Debris On BK Subway Track, Police Say

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — Police are trying to find a hooded man that purposefully put debris on the D train subway tracks earlier this month.

Police said that the man, caught on surveillance video in the station, intentionally put debris on the northbound rails of the D train at Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center station just after midnight on May 9. The debris caused hazardous conditions on the subway line, police said.

An NYPD spokesman did not know what type of debris the person placed on the tracks.

There were no injuries and no property damage reported as a result of the incident, police said. An archive of MTA alerts from that day also shows that there weren't delays on the D line around that time.

The man is wanted on reckless endangerment charges.

Anyone with information in regard to the identity of this male is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
