Riders ignore woman with head trapped between subway doors

A disturbing online video shows a straphanger wedged between subway doors from the neck up as passersby casually walk past her on the platform.

The woman found herself caught in between the doors of a No. 4 train at around 12:45 p.m. Tuesday as the train reached the end of the line at the Woodlawn station in the Bronx, transit sources said.

Apparently realizing too late that the train was at its last stop and had already emptied out, the woman rushed for the doors and became trapped, sources said.

The woman, who was standing inside the train car, can be seen in the video with her head and her black and white bag stuck between the two doors.

You don't get to New York much,do ya! ;-)

No, thank God!

[libertylover]

Because the doors were ajar, the train was never in danger of moving.”

Don't worry. The Titanic is unsinkable.

This is BS. No one would sit there with their head stuck in a subway door and do nothing.

I’m confused. Is this considered her using her head or not using her head?

[Gay State Conservative]

Unbelievable.That is not even human.

I'm inclined to agree.I hope it was obvious that my earlier joking was sarcastic in nature.

I would hope that if I had walked past her,and noticed her plight,I would have at least called for help...if not tried to pry the doors open.

However,we (I,at least) can't be certain that anyone noticed,particularly given that I didn't hear her calling for help (although I didn't listen closely to the audio).

I don't know about anyone else but I get to NYC pretty regularly and ride the subway often.For me,at least,I try to tune out what I see and hear...particularly on the subway.

Don't know if that's true of the natives.

I’m surprised nobody stole her bag.

[OrangeHoof]

I’d presume it was a Candid Camera stunt...

[simpson96]

Sounds like an episode of “Seinfeld”.

[onedoug]

;-)

I realized that, though thanks for the clarification.

I’ve been as far upstate as Ticonderoga. Beautiful country.

[Organic Panic]

And if anyone “helped” they would be sued or attacked.

[Vendome]

Put a feedbag on her neck so she can graze...

[lowbridge]

That costs extra. Its not included in the subway fare.

[Clearly Right]

It must be those new high-speed door closers...

 

(If a person's head gets caught in there, it could make them more narrow-minded.)   (Warped humor.)
