Commuters exiting a subway in Brooklyn, New York always seemed to trip on the same step, filmmaker Dean Peterson noticed.

Deciding to inspect the matter more closely, Peterson found that the 36 Street subway station, Sunset Park, had one step that was half an inch higher than the others around it.

He filmed the subway exit and produced the video below:



Peterson explained to Metro: "My girlfriend and I would walk up all the time, and we would always trip.

"We just thought we were kind of klutzy. But then I kind of noticed that other people were doing it, too."

The subway entrance has been closed and is due to be investigated by New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
