Overview

• Police responded to a 911 call just after 3 a.m. at the Marcy Avenue station in Williamsburg and found two females unconscious and unresponsive on a J train.
• Emergency medical personnel pronounced both victims dead at the scene, and detectives opened an investigation treating the case as possible subway surfing.
• Officials have not released the girls’ identities, and the NYPD says the inquiry remains active pending family notification and further findings.
• J line service was halted or bypassed during the response and later resumed after investigators cleared the scene.
• MTA and NYPD officials warn that exterior train riding is illegal and deadly, citing six deaths last year and more than 200 rescues or arrests since drone patrols began in 2023.
