Police are investigating a video featuring two young women twerking on the tracks of a subway station next to a 600-volt rail.

The giggling pair chose an unusual way to pass the time while waiting for a train in New York, by climbing down on to the tracks to perform the popular dance craze.

A male friend can be heard laughing as he records the impromptu dance session in the video which has been watched more than 50,000 times on YouTube.

One of the women can be heard pleading with the cameraman: ‘No face! No face!’

‘One word, dumb,’ Kevin Ortiz, spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, told the New York Post.



He believes the clip was shot on the 8th Avenue rapid transit line, where trains run throughout the night and every five minutes during the day.

The women’s stunt comes after a series of high-profile deaths on the New York subway this year, including that of a 30-year-old who was electrocuted after drunkenly urinating on a 600-volt rail in Brooklyn.

Many viewers have criticised the two women for their ‘stupidity’, while the New York Police Department confirmed they are investigating the clip.
