After a full day of work, people usually get tired and look for places to take a power nap before going home. A bus or subway is the perfect place for some to fall asleep. Something similar recently happened to a passenger traveling on the New York subway. However, he did not know what would happen next. While the man was sleeping peacefully, a rat jumped on top of him, frightening fellow passengers.
The undated clip was posted to Twitter by @Jazzie654 with a caption that reads, “I didn’t know there are rats in NY Subways or any Subway for that matter.”

In the 22-second clip, a rat appears out of nowhere and begins to climb the legs of a passenger who is fast asleep and oblivious to what is happening. The rat then sniffs his hand and moves all over his shoulders.
As the rodent climbs onto the man’s neck, he feels some movement and wakes up from his nap. When he sees the rodent on his body, he seems a little startled, but then he calmly gets up and removes the rat from his body.
The video has gone viral, collecting over 7 lakh views, 1,382 retweets and 3,252 likes. While some internet users were stunned and crawled out when they saw a rodent crawling over a man’s body, some said they hadn’t actually seen rats on a train, but had seen them regularly on the platforms, tracks and tunnels.
Meanwhile, some of the users were shocked to see the man’s calm demeanor. One user said, “Oh yes. They’re ubiquitous. But this guy – he’s the epitome of composure when he realises. Who wouldn’t scream and jump and lose it in this situation?” Another wrote: “He was surprisingly calm. I would have jumped off the train….”.
“OMG! We’ve seen a lot of rats on the subway rails, but never on the subway! Yay!” added a third.
