New York police have arrested two teenagers they suspect of joyriding and crashing an empty subway train. A girl and boy, both aged 17, are charged with criminal mischief and reckless endangerment. They are accused of entering and operating the train, then causing a "collision", after which they fled on foot.

Surveillance photos released by the New York Police Department on Tuesday show a woman dressed all in pink including a pink shower cap and a man in a blue tank top.

A 17-year-old girl and her male companion boarded an unoccupied train and crashed it, before fleeing the scene.

The NYPD is asking the public to assist them in finding the two suspects who took an unoccupied subway car on a joyride last week. The pair fled the scene after the train crashed.
