There are some places you can’t help but to fall asleep even when you shouldn’t. I’ve fallen asleep during a haircut and wouldn’t recommend that. Also, the NYC subway is another place where you should try to never fall asleep. Why? You never know what might happen while you’re asleep. This is why you should never fall asleep on the subway.
Police are now looking for a guy who stuck his hand down the pants of a man who fell asleep on the northbound 6 train in Manhattan over the weekend.
This Is Why You Should Never Fall Asleep On The Subway
According to The New York Post, the victim awoke just after 2am to the unknown man’s hand inside his pants. After being discovered, the man fled the train. Police describe him as a man with light complexion and a heavy build.
He was last seen wearing a dark-colored baseball cap, greenish-yellow shirt, tan pants, and tan boots, per The New York Post. A photo shared by NYPD shows the perp wearing black square-framed glasses and a New York Yankees cap.
Can you imagine? That’s horrific! Sure, it was late around 2am according to reports, but this is still happening in public! This guy had no regard whatsoever! Hopefully, they’re able to locate the man and bring him to justice. This should never happen anywhere, let alone on public transportation in the busiest city in the country.
Police say the victim was physically uninjured. Have information related to the incident? You’re asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), submit tips on the Crime Stoppers Website, or reach out on X/Twitter @NYPDTips.

Ugh. Gross. Keep scrolling for more crimes that were so dumb they’re hard to believe.
5 of the Craziest Cringeworthy Crimes Ever Committed
While committing crimes may seem black and white (you either broke the law or you didn’t), there are certainly some crimes that are dumber than others. Sometimes it’s the crime itself that’s wild, other times, it’s the people committing said crimes. These are 5 of the craziest, cringeworthy crimes ever committed.
Crimes can happen anywhere, anytime, to anyone. However, it takes a very unique individual, a case study if you will, to commit some of these outrageously dumb crimes. Years ago, these criminals would have been featured on Spike TV or one of those America’s Dumbest Criminal shows. Today, I’m not sure if those shows are around…and I’m certain Spike TV isn’t around anymore. That’s a story for another time.

Craziest Crimes
Crimes can happen for a number of reasons. They may happen out of necessity. They could also happen on accident. These crimes, however, do not fall into those categories. These crimes are different. None of these would accidentally happen. They also aren’t a matter of life or death. There’s no ethics quiz here, or any matters of ‘would you steal bread to support your family?’ These crimes, and criminals, aren’t straight up cringeworthy.
While all of these crimes are crazy and certainly cringeworthy, they also make for excellent conversation pieces. That’s why I’ve gone and found five examples of the wildest stories that Dave and Chuck the Freak have talked about and made a list highlighting the best of the best. Let’s be honest…what’s better than reading a story about one of the craziest crimes ever committed? Or, watching Dave and Chuck the Freak talk about some of the dumbest crimes ever committed? Personally, I’m going with the funny storytellers.
They add their own two cents and perspectives on these stories that nobody else could provide. Not even those talking heads on the dumbest criminal shows. Am I the only one who remembers those? I feel like they were a staple on TruTV or VH1, but now all I can find on TruTV is Impractical Jokers, which is awesome but…you get it. Let’s not delay! Here’s the list!
5 of the Dumbest Crimes Ever Committed
Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
