Cops arrested a Brooklyn woman Tuesday for tossing crickets on a crowded D train during rush hour.
Zaida Pugh was charged with reckless endangerment, obstructing governmental administration, false reporting an incident and disorderly conduct, sources said.
She promised the bizarre prank was her last, saying she’d hoped to perform “a social experiment.”
“It was to show how the homeless are treated. How everybody records (with their phones),” she said.
The bizarre incident last Wednesday sent the crowded car into a frenzy. During the panic a straphanger pulled the emergency brake on the train, leaving it stalled on the Manhattan Bridge for an agonizing half-hour.
During the chaos Pugh urinated on herself and attempted to vomit. Once the train pulled into the DeKalb Ave. station cops took Pugh to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and released her.
But Pugh then revealed the incident was a prank — and that she’d considered using cockroaches instead of crickets. That prompted the police to put out a warrant for her arrest.
“My dreams for being an actress or whatever, that's going to go down the drain...There are people after me. Want to kill me.”
Responses to Pugh were mixed.
“Girl bye! You and those crocodile tears can get on! Still don't care. I hope they lock you up, dummy,” one commenter wrote.
