A 15-year-old boy is in critical condition after hitting his head while subway surfing on top of a New York City train Thursday evening, officials say.
The boy was believed to have been riding on top of the train car as it entered the station and struck his head on “an unknown object” and suffered “severe head trauma," according to police.
He was removed from the top of the train and transported to Elmhurst Hospital in critical condition.
Earlier this month, a video circulated on social media showing about eight people subway surfing, running and even dancing on top of a northbound J train as it passed over the Williamsburg Bridge. Those suspects have not been identified.
However, subway surfing is dangerous. In October 2021, a 32-year-old man died after falling on the tracks while subway surfing on a J train over the Williamsburg Bridge.

“Mr. Darwin? Please pick up the White Courtesy Phone in the Lobby!”
“Stupid, self-centered people who think they’re immortal and that the rest of the world exists to clean up after them.”
IOW, Teenage Boys? I raised three, each only a year apart. Still can’t believe I survived it!
A kid from my high school thought it would be cool to get on the train and hop from boxcar to boxcar. He missed, fell down and was cut in half by the wheels.
Amazing how language is used to persuade, not to inform:
“subway surfing “, “knockout game”, “mostly peaceful”.
What the hell is wrong with you? He's a 15 year old kid.
Seriously, how mean-spirited and bitter can you get?
Kids, especially boys, do stupid things. I know I did but somehow I survived them.
I think that is called being young. I was once that way and thankful to have made it through.
Most teenagers need a leash on them until they reach 21.
I believe thats a Darwin recipient.
Basic physics in action. Must not have believed Science.
Dittoes again!
So that we can get this straight, no one told him it was a stupid idea, no one told him that he could die, and no one told him that death is forever without a game reset button.
And no one ever EVER honked a car horn at him crossing the street, for getting in the way.
Kinda like a flat squirrel.
i’m not bitter. Stupidity is supposed to hurt.
There is a term “The Invincibility of Youth”. Often fails.
In my day folks like this were called “Examples” and were used by Mom & Dad anytime I got close to a stupid idea - “Remember what happened to that kid in ... - he broke his neck / poked an eye out / his face froze like that”.
India?
Dancing = twerking.
You can ignore the laws of physics, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring the laws of physics!
Can we start a Go Fund for grease for the train roofs?
