Subway trains on the A and E lines were delayed for several minutes Saturday when someone took a snooze on a Manhattan track, authorities said.

The unidentified man lounged with his eyes closed at the West Fourth Street station in Greenwich Village at about 2:30 p.m. and refused to get up.

Medics ultimately removed the power-napper and took him to Bellevue Hospital, police said.

FDNY firefighters waited until the power was off to bring him up to the platform. He told EMTs that he COVID-19 positive.
