The New York Police Department (NYPD) issues a crucial reminder to subway commuters: if you accidentally drop your belongings onto the subway tracks, resist the urge to retrieve them personally. Instead, alert a police officer at the station or contact an NYCT Subway employee for assistance.

Attempting to retrieve items from the tracks independently can pose serious risks to personal safety. The NYPD emphasizes that station personnel and law enforcement are equipped to handle such situations more effectively and safely.

This advisory aims to promote the well-being of commuters while ensuring a swift and secure resolution to incidents involving dropped property on subway tracks.
