Video: Man playing with chicken on city subway
New York City's transit agency is investigating a video posted online that shows a man kissing and snuggling a live chicken aboard a subway.
The subway rider who took the video said yesterday that it was one of those New York moments she felt compelled to record.
Kylie Kaiser, a 27-year-old architect from Brooklyn, and two friends boarded the uptown No. 6 train at the 33rd Street station around 7 p.m. Tuesday.
"He was on his back, rolling from side to side, kissing, hugging and lifting the chicken up in the air," she said.
"It was definitely an only-in-New York situation," said Kaiser, who moved to the city about three years ago from Murfreesboro, Tenn.
Kaiser said the man looked like he was homeless because he had a shopping cart next to him full of cans and was wearing a shirt that "looked like he had found it somewhere." NYC Transit spokesman Charles Seaton said no passengers reported the incident.
Kaiser took video and photos with her BlackBerry and later posted them on her blog. The post was picked up by Gothamist, a local blog network, and others.
"I knew it would be a story people would want to hear," she said.
