New York City authorities are searching for two suspects who crashed a subway train last week.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) released pictures of the suspects, a man and a woman, on Tuesday. The incident took place on Sept. 12.

In a statement shared with Fox News Digital, police reported that the pair boarded a parked, unoccupied subway train at the Briarwood station in Queens at around midnight. 

The two were able to start the vehicle and get it moving before eventually crashing into another train.
