Two teens — including girl dressed in loud pink outfit — busted for taking NYC train on joyride: cops

Two teens – including a girl seen wearing a distinctive pink shower-cap looking bonnet – were busted for taking an empty Queens train on a joyride and crashing it, cops said.

The 17-year-olds – both of whom were not identified because they are minors – were nabbed Wednesday and charged with criminal mischief and reckless endangerment in connection to the dangerous Sept. 12 stunt at the Briarwood subway station, police said.

They are accused of boarding the train just after midnight and operating it for a short distance before crashing, cops said.
