MIDTOWN — A chaotic scene unfolded at Penn Station after Amtrak police used a Taser on someone Friday evening, according to officials and reports.
People may have mistaken the sound for a shooting and ran into the station in a panic, WCBS reported. There were no shots fired, an NYPD spokesman tweeted.
The MTA tweeted that Amtrak police used a Taser while arresting two people for "disobeying orders" at the station.
The station was already crowded after a NJ Transit train got stuck in a tunnel under the Hudson River Friday afternoon.
There was no immediate information on injuries.
