“We are deeply troubled by this video,” said an MTA spokesperson. “We have forwarded it to the NYPD and are also conducting our own investigation.”
City agencies say permission was not granted or the shoot. Permits are required for commercial shoots with actors that use public space.
The company that produced it did not respond to questions. The website featured several case studies that highlight the renegade tactics.
