NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- The overnight shutdown of the New York City subway system has made for a dangerous situation in Brooklyn.
20 homeless people took shelter on an MTA shuttle bus in Coney Island.
The bus operator called police, but several of the homeless refused to go willingly and eventually were taken off the bus.
An extensive cleaning operation took place.
