11-Year-Old Boy Dies in Brooklyn Subway Surfing Incident

The boy struck his head on an overhang and fell onto the tracks, becoming the fourth child to die from subway surfing this year.

The incident occurred at the Fourth Ave./Ninth St. station in Park Slope, Brooklyn, at 10:10 a.m. on Monday.
The boy was riding on top of a G train when he hit his head on an overhang and was subsequently run over.
This tragic event marks the fourth subway surfing death this year, with victims ranging from 11 to 15 years old.
City officials, including Mayor Eric Adams, are urging the public to help discourage this dangerous trend.
The MTA has removed over 10,650 social media posts glorifying subway surfing in an effort to combat the deadly practice.
