Sleeping Rider Dragged Through Subway By MTA Worker, Video Shows

KENSINGTON, BROOKLYN — An MTA worker was captured on video dragging a sleeping subway rider through a train car and kicking him to wake him up. The video was posted by the New York Daily News.

The incident happened on a G train that had pulled into the Church Avenue station in Brooklyn Saturday night, according to the News.

Claude Harris, 38, was in the train's last car as it reached the last stop on its Central Brooklyn route, he told the News. Harris said he got off the train and started filming when he saw the worker dragging the man through the car.

"Come on! Get up there! I don't got time for this s---!" the MTA worker says in the video as he kicks the man to wake him up.

"I’m not gonna judge this man to say he was drunk. I’m not gonna judge him to say he was homeless. He was just asleep," Harris told the News.
