Rat crawls over homeless man in NYC

NEW YORK, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- A video posted to YouTube depicts a man sleeping on a New York subway train while a rat climbs his body and brushes past his face.

The video, posted Wednesday, shows the brown rat running down a Subway aisle and ducking beneath a rider's feet before scaling the body of the sleeping man, the New York Daily News reported Friday.

The rodent is seen climbing the man's leg and making its way to his shoulder before being brushed away from the man's face by his hand. The rat then runs down the seat and across the aisle.
