"3 a.m. on the 7 train. MTA subways come equipped with cuddly rats," Lin wrote.
The rat can be seen climbing up the sleeping man's arm up to his shoulders, before grazing the back of his neck.
This contact soon awakens the man and when he realizes the rat's presence he attempts to swat the rat away.
At this point Lin points the camera away from the man, but a shrieking noise can be heard coming from an undetermined location.
