Story summary
A video went viral showing a man riding on the outside handrails of a moving SEPTA train near Philadelphia, specifically on the Market-Frankford Line. The incident occurred as the train exited the 40th Street tunnel and headed toward 46th Street. Despite the apparent danger, he appeared relaxed, swaying his arms and listening to music with one earbud while tilting his head back. This act is considered a crime but did not stop onlookers from finding it amusing rather than alarming. SEPTA Police are investigating to identify the individual responsible for this dangerous behavior, hoping clues in the video might lead them to him. One social media user mentioned previously engaging in similar activity and facing consequences, including 96 hours of community service.
