An 11-year-old boy lost his life while train surfing in Park Slope, making him the youngest subway fatality this year, amidst a rising trend in similar accidents.
The tragic incident occurred at the Fourth Ave./Ninth St. stop when the boy struck his head on an overhang before falling onto the tracks.
In response to the viral dare train surfing posts, the MTA has actively removed over 10,650 posts from social media, collaborating with police to address this dangerous trend.
The MTA continues its efforts to combat train surfing-related incidents by flagging and removing content that encourages this hazardous behavior among youth.
