NEW YORK (WABC) -- Subway riders might have thought "Sharknado" arrived in New York City after a dead shark was found on an N subway train.

Around 12:30 am last night, the conductor aboard a Ditmars-bound N train at Queensboro Plaza reported that there was a shark aboard the train in car #8994.

"I boarded an empty car on the N train at the 8th Street stop and it smelled extremely fishy. I assumed that's why it was empty until I looked down and saw that poor straphanging dead shark," Isvett Verde told Eyewitness News. "I mean, I thought I'd seen it all, but even that was a bit much. I have no idea how it got there or how long it had been there."

The conductor asked passengers to leave the car and closed it off. The train continued to the end of the line, and then a supervisor placed the shark in a garbage bag and put it in the trash

3. Better than a live shark on the subway.

I feel sorry for the shark being dead. What a story that conductor has to tell his family. "I'll give you 50 guesses what was left on the subway today."
