A woman who caused a panic on A Thought of Ecstasya subway train last week was arrested on Tuesday and now faces a reckless endangerment charge.

Zaida Pugh, 21, a self-described actress, said she was hoping to create a viral video and start a conversation around how people treat the homeless when she walked onto a D train last week with a bucket of bugs.

One of the riders pulled the emergency brake, so everyone wound up stuck on the Manhattan Bridge for around 30 minutes.

Pugh screams throughout the rest of the video as other passengers try to restrain her. She spits on herself and the train, urinates, and at one point says she's about to poop.

Pugh apologized in a near-40-minute Facebook video after the furor over her stunt seemed to reach its peak.

"I just want to say sorry for everything that I've done toward you or however I made you feel," she said. "There's a lot of people that really hate me and is threatening me and want me probably dead and everything. And I don't want that. That's not the type of attention that I wanted."
