Suspect arrested after driving stolen New Jersey Transit police car into terminal
HOBOKEN, N.J. -- New Jersey Transit says a person jumped into a police K-9 SUV and drove it into the doors of the waiting room at the Hoboken rail terminal. No injuries have been reported.
The suspect was arrested after the incident, which took place at about 8 a.m. Monday. The suspect's name has not been released.
NJ Transit spokeswoman Nancy Snyder says detectives are trying to determine the intent of the suspect.
Snyder says the crash caused significant damage to the waiting room doors.
Train service was not affected, but the ticket windows have been closed and the on-board ticket purchasing surcharge has been waived.
A temporary waiting room and restroom have been made available.
Meanwhile, other travelers faced significant travel delays and suspensions during the morning rush hour commute on Monday.
CBS New York reports a broken rail outside the Grove Street station in Jersey City caused major problems for PATH train riders who normally travel into Manhattan. The broken rail was later repaired.
A disabled Amtrak train also delayed NJ Transit trains from entering Penn Station. It remains unclear if the delay was related to track work that is being performed at the station.
