Metro North commuters from Connecticut took a scary 10 minute ride from 125th Street in Harlem to Grand Central Station Monday as a door on the lead subway car malfunctioned, CBS2 reported.
A spokesman for Metro North said “The footage in this video is very concerning to us and Metro-North is investigating the door malfunction. A door opening en route is an extremely unusual occurrence. Metro-North is in the process of inspecting all train doors and all doors will be retested before the initial run of the day.”
The video was taken by a passenger who said the train was packed with subway riders and that the conductor was notified but never arrived. The passenger says riders were able to close the train door just as the train was inside the tunnel approaching the Grand Central terminal. The Metro North train in question is no longer running as officials inspect it.
