Subway service has resumed along the F line following a teen's risky trek walking the track between Manhattan and Queens.
Police say the 16-year-old girl spent nearly two hours on the tracks as she walked the tunnels between the two boroughs.
Her journey started at E. 63rd Street and Lexington Avenue around 1:45 p.m. when she descended onto the tracks and started walking. Police initially thought that someone had fallen on the tracks by accident.
The MTA suspended F train service between the Upper East Side station and Queensbridge for several hours Friday.
