![Two men have actually been arrested for 'manspreading Nicholas Reilly for Metro.co.uk Saturday 30 May 2015 3:48 pm g+ 1.3k THIS IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE When hopping on the train, there's few things more irritating than someone who's invading your own space because they've decided that it's totally acceptable to stretch out their own legs It's an unacceptable practice called 'manspreading', and two men from Brooklyn, NY have been arrested for it - after police decided that they were taking up too much space The bizarre arrest was revealed after the Police Reform Organizing Project scoured court testimonies to produce a PDF that aimed to examine the NYPD's attitudes to race and class But a document which detailed the bizarre crime was also found, and described how two men were arrested for the bizarre offence MORE: NOT a Photoshop: This wonky giraffe has a broken neck MORE: Lazy baby elephant tries to take a nap-the herd are having none of it The document read: 'On a recent visit to the arraignment part in Brooklyn's criminal court, PROP volunteers observed that police officers had arrested two Latino men on the charge of “man spreading" on the subway presumably because they were taking up more than one seat and therefore inconveniencing other riders Dude... Stop the Spread, Please It's a space issue. A poster used in the Manhattan Transport Authority's anti-manspreading campaign (Picture: Manhattan Transport Authority) Before issuing an [adjournment contemplating dismissal] for both men, the judge expressed her skepticism about the charge because of the time of the arrests: "12:11AM, I can't believe there were many people on the subway Both men received an ACD which means that the charges will be dropped if they avoid arrest for a determined period of time The New York Metropolitan Transport Authority prohibits taking up more than one seat if it happens to interfere with the functioning of the train or comfort of other passengers'.](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/000/978/129/b87.png "Two men got arrested for manspreading")
