00:00They say New York is a rat race, but this is ridiculous.

00:04Welcome to Weird But True, your express train to the wildest stories from The Post.

00:08This week it's a rodent rumble.

00:10A pair of karate chopping rats on a Brooklyn subway platform had everyone talking on Reddit.

00:16The crazy brawl drew comparison to the Jets and the Sharks,

00:24the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and even Keanu Reeves.

00:31Whoa, they know Kung Fu.

00:38Thankfully, one Redditor who works with rats, presumably on Wall Street, explained there's

00:42a good chance they're actually playing.

00:44If they were fighting, they'd be using their incredibly sharp teeth and there would be missing

00:48eyeballs and entrails hanging out of their abdomens.

00:51Thanks for that visual.

00:52Experts say if it's the real deal, you might hear loud shrieks, hisses, or squeaks.

00:57Rats are known to gently nip, bite, and wrestle as a form of social bonding.

01:01Sounds like a fun Friday night.

01:03Either way, it's safe to say these NYC ninjas have entered the hall of fame of subway rats,

01:08joining our city's beloved pizza rats.

01:10At this point, are you even a true New Yorker if you haven't witnessed first hand a rat taking

01:25home a slice of cheese?

01:27Or how about a doughnut?

01:29Or a cup of coffee?

01:36My personal favourite, this subway rat working the pole.

01:40Hey, it's a living after all.

01:42While the Big Apple is clearly fighting with a rat problem, we're not alone.

01:45In 2022, a viral video from Singapore, which is supposedly the world's cleanest city, caught

01:51two rats boxing.

01:53You won't find this fight on Pay Per View.

01:55At the end of the day, we could all learn a thing or two about tenderness from the pair

01:59of romantic rats spotted canoodling inside a restaurant earlier this year.

02:04As for the Greek eatery in question, it's been mercifully closed since May, so it looks like

02:08it's pizza again for dinner.
