A 14-year-old boy is dead and another teen is in critical condition after officials say they fell from the top of a New York City subway train they were riding on as it passed through the Williamsburg Bridge on Friday.
The teens were allegedly "subway surfing" on top of the J train as it passed from the bridge into Manhattan when the 14-year-old fell from from the bridge and into a lot near Delancey Street and Lewis Street, according to police.
The 18-year-old fell onto the tracks at the location, according to police.
They were both transported to Bellevue Hospital where the 14-year-old was pronounced dead, police said. The 18-year-old victim was in critical condition as of Saturday.
New York City Transit has raised alarms about the growing number of subway surfing incidents over the last couple of years.
There were 928 reports of people riding outside of trains in 2022, according to the news website The City. Prior to 2019, there were 490 reports of people riding outside of trains in 2019, according to The City.

This weeks Darwin Awards winner... But this may be a tie with his injured buddy if he can succumb to his injuries before midnight on Saturday.
Standing on the roof of a moving train is the FA part.
Who knew that was dangerous? 😉😉😉
I mean, how stupid can you be?! And it takes a lot of effort to put yourself in this position....
The gene pool just improves.

There’s no toll for the Williamsburg Bridge so they definitely overpaid.
Well, they shouldn't have raised fares so high! What's a yute to do?
