In Brooklyn, one teenager died and another was injured while surfing the subway (rolling on top of a train). Children fell from a moving train on June 22, writes ABC.

According to eyewitnesses, teenagers were thrown off the car when the train entered the tunnel.
Passengers and friends of teenagers saw how the ambulance staff took away one seriously injured guy from the tracks. The second died on the spot, and the doctors could not do anything to save him.
“I express my condolences to his family. Hope the other guy is ok. I think the children will learn from what happened, they should stop doing such tricks, ”said Mel, a witness to what happened.

The MTA maintains subway surf statistics. In 2019, 490 people noticed this activity. In 2020, their number fell to 199, but in 2021 it began to grow again and in 2022 it was already 928 people.
Mayor Eric Adams stressed that subway surfing is growing in popularity due to social media and called on TikTok to ban videos depicting dangerous activities.
“Today we lost another child. The consequences of social media and dangerous online content are both tragic and real,” Adams said. “Surfing on the subway kills.”
“We urge anyone considering subway surfing not to do so,” said NYPD Transportation Commander Michael Kemper. “It is extremely dangerous, deadly. The attention and influence you seek is not worth it.”
