Matt D., who did not wish to reveal his last name, was on his way to his new job as a fireproofer in Manhattan last Tuesday when he found himself trapped on the subway.
The man from Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, which is in the southernmost part of that borough, was on his way to College Point, Queens, and did not want to be late.
After waiting for an hour inside the midtown train terminal where the subway had stopped, he got out and walked the dark and dangerous tracks.
Usually, the only warm-blooded creatures walking along the tracks are rats, not humans.
Even more dangerous is the high voltage third rail, which can kill you in an instant if you come in contact with it.
It was a two-minute frightening trek to the next station as he and another passenger bravely walked in the cavernous area.
