14-Year-Old Fatally Struck While Subway Surfing in Brooklyn

A teenage boy died after subway surfing on a southbound F train in Brooklyn, prompting a warning from the MTA about the dangers of such behavior. The incident, which occurred near Avenue N and McDonald Avenue, resulted in the boy falling from the train and landing on the street. The MTA has been actively campaigning against subway surfing, with special patrols and messaging in schools, and has seen success in removing subway surfing content from social media. The boy's identity has not been released, and the incident follows another subway-related fatality involving a woman struck by a train in Lower Manhattan.
