A man jumped the turnstile at a Brooklyn subway station, then clamored onto the roof of a stalled train — and slipped into a car, mingling with riders — to try to dodge cops, authorities said Tuesday.
Police eventually apprehended the man, Alking Bristow, inside the train as he tried to blend in with straphangers, officials said.
The 45-minute saga started when officers spotted the suspect hop over the gate at the entrance of the Atlantic Avenue station near the Barclays Center around noon.
When the cops tried to stop him, Bristow bolted, jumped onto the tracks and into the tunnel, running toward the Nevins Street station.
The cops did not follow the man into the tunnel but ordered the electricity be shut off, halting all trains in the vicinity, police said.
Officers from the Emergency Services Unit soon realized that the man had scaled a train that was stuck between two stations and tried to get him down, police said.
Bristow eventually jumped down between two train cars and entered one of them.
The cops quickly found him hiding among the passengers and apprehended him.
Charges against Bristow are pending, officials said.
