Brooklyn Subway Train Covered In Graffiti, MTA Says Clean-Up Will Cost Thousands
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Vandals covered an entire subway train with graffiti in Brooklyn.
Social media has been buzzing about it since the eight cars on the J-M-Z line were spray-painted in Bushwick sometime on Sunday.
"NYC Transit personnel discovered this vandalism – which put an entire train out of service and will cost thousands of dollars to restore – on the morning of Dec. 15 and are fully cooperating with the NYPD which is leading a criminal investigation into the matter," the MTA said in a statement.
This year alone, the MTA has spent tens of thousands of dollars to clean graffiti off trains.
