Teen dies while subway surfing J-train over Williamsburg Bridge

WILLIAMSBURG, Brooklyn (WABC) — A 15-year-old has died after trying to subway surf a practice on a New York City bridge Thursday.

The boy was climbing a J-train headed over the Williamsburg Bridge when he slipped and fell onto the third rail, based on police.

He was pronounced lifeless on the scene.

A rescue practice was deployed and eliminated about 700 passengers from the subway practice, which was stopped for the investigation.

New York City Transit President Richard Davey provided sharp phrases on the subject of subway browsing after the incident was reported.

“Riding on top of subway cars is reckless, dumb and dangerous, frequently leading to tragedy for the person, family and friends,” Davey stated. “We implore parents to speak with their children about what can seem like a game but obviously is not.”

The id of the kid was not launched.
