http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5091595/New-Yorkers-flip-rat-subway-car.htmlA New York rat that hitched a ride on a busy subway train caused quite the commotion among commuters as it scurried around the car and even jumped into a woman's purse.
Hilarious video of the incident shows the pesky critter darting back and forth in the subway car as frightened New Yorkers stood up in their seats.
At one point the rodent hid under a seat where two men were sitting. Both men held their legs in the air so the rat wouldn't jump on them.
Moments later, the rat darted to the other side of the subway car and startled even more screaming commuters.
When the train made a stop at the Rockaway Avenue station, some commuters quickly got off, but most of them stayed on.
One man is heard in the video saying the rat 'tried to jump on somebody'.
The rat then somehow jumped inside a bag that was placed in the seat on the train car.
It then jumped out the seat and scrambled for a place to hide as everyone screamed in horror.
One man tried to step on the terrified rodent as it clawed at the subway car's doors in an attempt to escape.
