Think people. If you damage the train, do you think its going to run any faster?

(CNN) -- Passengers, angry about slow service, took out their frustration on trains in Sao Paulo, Brazil, bashing windows and damaging at least 17 train cars Tuesday, an official told the national broadcaster.

The passengers were furious that some trains had stopped moving Tuesday morning, Conrado Grava de Souza, operations director of the Sao Paulo Metro, told Agencia Brasil.

The triggering device to open one of the train's doors malfunctioned causing one of the trains to stop. Passengers used emergency buttons to get off the train and began walking on the tracks.This caused other trains to stop, further slowing service, Souza said.

An estimated 150,000 people were disrupted by the interruption in train service, Souza said.

Later in the day, the 17 damaged trains were back in service.

Favorite episode is where the cops get called to a bar for a disorderly individual. They enter the bathroom to find him on his knees next to the urinal doing a line of coke. All caught on film by the cameraman. When outside the bar, he claims the cops put the drugs in his pocket.
