New York police have arrested two teenagers they suspect of joyriding and crashing an empty subway train. A girl and boy, both aged 17, are charged with criminal mischief and reckless endangerment. They are accused of entering and operating the train, then causing a "collision", after which they fled on foot.

A teenager wearing a shower cap allegedly took a New York subway train for a joyride before crashing it. The 17-year-old girl is suspected of being one of two people who commandeered the empty train from Briarwood subway station in Queens in the early hours of Sept 12.
