This is the bizarre moment a woman was caught on camera shaving her legs in a New York subway station.

In the unusual footage the woman takes a moment to shave her legs while waiting for a subway car at the 42 street station, near Times Square, to the shock of a man sitting close to her.

The film shows the woman in red sandals, a pink dress and black coat sat on the end of a bench at a subway station.

She first grabs shaving cream and smothers her leg in it.

She then brazenly takes out a small, green, disposable razor and shaves her leg.

Her focus seems to be on one particular spot just below her knee.

The clip, filmed on Monday lunchtime has bemused New Yorkers since it was posted online.
