Subway passengers were caught off guard and put in danger when a teenager started throwing wooden planks from a moving train in a series of frightening and unusual assaults.
The subway commute turned into a chaotic and terrifying scene due to a teenage perpetrator’s reckless endangerment. It was a disturbing display of their actions.
