NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are searching for an MTA motorman who allegedly let a friend operate a D train in Brooklyn on Friday, according to a New York Post report.
Cops are also looking to question the woman who was seen on social media operating the train, 28-year-old Dominique Belgrave.
According to the report, the motorman – identified as Terrell Harris – allowed Belgrave to drive the D train through the 50th Street, 55th Street and 62nd Street stations in Brooklyn.
“This is me operating the train right now,” Belgrave allegedly said in one of multiple videos that were posted to her Instagram account – which she later made private.
The report notes that the woman was seen on footage at the controls of the train alone and posing for a selfie with Harris in the cab.
The two even reportedly discussed the markers that are placed throughout the stations showing where operators must stop. Belgrave allegedly said that the MTA makes it too hard for the conductors to see them in the dark tunnels.
Belgrave filmed herself returning to the public area of the train, and later posted all the footage and images to her personal social media accounts, the Post reports.
An MTA supervisor saw the post after it went viral and reported them to the NYPD, the outlet added.
Interim Transit President Craig Cipriano told the Post that Harris will be disciplined for the incident.
“This video is beyond egregious showing a train operator who betrayed the trust of New Yorkers while creating a dangerous condition,” Cipriano told the paper. “I want to assure customers that the operator involved has been removed from service and will no longer be allowed to control a train.”
