More subways are being delayed due to people on the tracks and CBS2 has exclusively learned the MTA‘s plan for solving this issue and reducing delays.

Cell phone video shows a subway car trying to stop short as it approaches a man standing on the tracks, but the R train pins the man between the car and platform before he wriggles free and continues roaming the rails.

This happened Monday afternoon at the 8th Street station.
