Authorities in New York said a 5-year-old who slipped away from his mother boarded a train and traveled through 34 stations before transit workers spotted him.
Police said the young boy boarded a downtown No. 1 train at the Marble Hill subway station at 7:40 a.m. Monday and traveled 13 miles to the end of the line at South Ferry, where he was seen by two transit workers, the New York Post reported Tuesday.
Conductor Luis Cabarruoy told the newspaper the boy was "joyful and playing" when the workers found him on the empty train.
The child was quickly reunited with his mother, authorities said.
