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.

Stupid, self-centered people who think they’re immortal and that the rest of the world exists to clean up after them.

In other news, the hospital administration sought city help for crowd control due to the massive influx of lawyers chasing the boy’s family pursuant to litigation against the city for its negligence.

On second thought, that’s probably not sarcasm. Is sarcastic sarcasm a double negative?

/s/s

Vans are driven by white males with well paying blue collar jobs and white pedophiles.
Therefore, they are racist and provoke non whites.
The above is why the subway was chosen.
