Police are searching for a man who is suspected of pulling the brakes on a New York subway train during rush hour as they investigate a serial offender who has caused 750 delays in three months. 

Surveillance video was released on Thursday showing a man riding on the back of a train in Manhattan just moments before police say he pulled the emergency brake.

The black man, aged 20 to 30, was wearing a Yankees cap and a Nike t-shirt that had 'Swag Don't Come Cheap' printed on it.

Police said the man got on the northbound 2 train at the West 14th Street subway station at 5.43pm on Tuesday via the rear train car.
