MANHATTAN – An 8-months-pregnant woman who crossed between subway cars in search of a seat was hit with a $75 ticket, the New York Post reported.

Nora Hsu was reportedly heading home from her job in Midtown Wednesday afternoon when her crowded 1 train stopped at Times Square.

A policeman on the platform spotted her walking between cars and ordered her off the train, the Post said.

Hsu tried to argue her case, asking the officer to “cut me some slack, I’m 32 weeks pregnant, and I’m just trying to get home,” the Post reported.

But she got the summons anyway.

She told the paper she has no plans to pay the ticket.

The NYPD did not respond to the Post’s requests for comment.
