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.

The suspects fled the scene after the crash. No injuries have been reported.

“The first sought individual is described as a male with a slim build and light complexion,” the press release explained. “He was last seen wearing a blue tank top, red shorts, and carrying a black backpack.”
