New York

Where does today’s disgusting subway rat video rank in the pantheon of disgusting subway rat videos?

A lone rat scrambles into the no-man's-land of a New York City subway platform.

The New York Post today put a spotlight on the latest scary subway rat video to pop up from the underground: "Rat on A train."
The paper notes that the video is just "one more indication of how
brazen rats have gotten in recent months," which makes it seem sort of
like we’re living in the middle of a new Cold War between humans and
rats and the subway is some sort of DMZ where everyone is tense and
violence can break out at any time. Maybe we are!

Anyway, here’s the rat video:

Scary, but how does it compare to subway rat videos of the past? While we think it can definitely compete with "Rats frolic in New York City subway," nothing holds a candle to "Rat crawls on man sleeping." (via New York Post)
