New video shows a pack of masked hooligans taking an empty New York City subway train for a joyride over the weekend — as the NYPD said Wednesday it was still hunting the brazen suspects.
The reckless perps are accused of stealing the unoccupied R train from a storage yard at the Forest Hills-71 Av subway station in Queens just before 10:30 p.m. Saturday, cops said.
At least six suspects were captured on CCTV video filing out of the conductor’s compartment at one point during their joyride, the footage released Wednesday shows.
The foolish teens — who were all wearing hoods — then casually strolled through the dark carriage, the clip shows.
Before managing to take the train for a spin, the shameless perps had initially tried to cover the security camera lenses with black marker in a bid to shield their identities, according to cops.
They still recorded their escapade and later posted it on Instagram, police sources said.
The adrenaline junkies reached speeds of roughly 30 mph during the brazen ride, although it wasn’t immediately clear how long their joyride lasted, or how far they took it.
At least part of it was on active train lines, sources said.
Police, who are still trying to track down those responsible, said the perps fled the scene on foot.
