NYPD Officers Arrest Couple for Dancing Inside Deserted Subway
StationS  Caroline Stern and her boyfriend George Hess were
waiting for their train at the Columbus Circle subway station
just before midnight when a busker began playing music on steel
drums and they decided to dance along.  The pair say the station
was nearly empty, and they didn't see the harm in busting out a
few impromptu moves. The 55-year-old dentist and her 54-year-old
beau were in the middle of doing the Charleston when they were
approached by two police officers who asked them what they were
doing.  "We're dancing," she told the cops, "and they said, ‘You
can't do that on the platform.'" The officers then asked the
couple for ID, but Stern only had a credit card with her photo
on it.  Hess, meanwhile, pulled out a camera to record the
exchange. "And that's when they called backup," Stern said.
Eight officers "came from out of nowhere," she recalled, and
both were cuffed. They claim Hess was tackled to the ground.
Police charged the two
