Man killed, found upside down after subway surfing in NYC: Sources
KINGSBRIDGE, The Bronx (PIX11) -- A man was found dead and upside down between train cars after subway surfing early Tuesday morning, sources say.
The man in his 30s was found at the 238th Street station in the Bronx around 3:18 a.m., according to authorities.
He appeared to be riding a northbound No. 1 train when the incident happened, officials report.
About a month prior, a 13-year-old boy was critically injured while subway surfing on a No. 7 train in Queens.
At least six people have died from subway surfing in 2024, an increase from 2023, according to police data.
The MTA is working to combat the resurging trend by telling social media platforms to take down subway surfing videos and launching educational advertisement campaigns.
