He went off the rails — for love.

The MTA worker who claimed he was attacked in a Queens subway station by an unhinged stranger — going as far as to slash his own hands — all so he could get the summer off told The Post he had a “plausible reason” for the hoax.





Henry Herring, 54, in an interview Tuesday, said he needed the time to take care of his sick fiancée. 

“I know what I did looks like something very horrible, whatever,” the Brooklyn man admitted. “But I have a very good reason for what I did.”

East Williamsburg is full of warehouse-style spaces converted into late-night music venues, like Elsewhere. Bloomberg/Getty Images. If New York's nightlife scene were a keg, it'd never get kicked. NYC overflows with options no matter the day: dance the night away inside a Brooklyn warehouse, slide into a speakeasy-style cocktail joint or applaud burlesque performers who bare it all for rowdy crowds. Beer buffs sample flights at local breweries, socialites sip Manhattans in swanky surrounds, and there are so many venues with exceptional live performances it's hard to know where to begin.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law.
