Kitten Rescued From Q Train Tracks, MTA Says
Riders were fine with the MTA's decision to rescue the kitten and, in one case, inspired to share a work of art.
DITMAS PARK, BROOKLYN -- A kitten on the tracks stalled Q trains in Brooklyn Friday, according to the MTA.
A "very frightened but otherwise unharmed kitten" was rescued from the southbound Q train tracks near the Cortelyou Road station at about 1:30 p.m., the MTA announced on Twitter.
"This is good content," replied Not Ur Mom. "And I’m ok with this delay."
