The ongoing trend has led to at least three deaths so far this year and five last year. The fatalities come despite efforts from Mayor Eric Adams and other city officials to dissuade New Yorkers from subway surfing.
The teen fell off of a northbound 6 train between the Westchester Square and Middletown Road stations. He was found unresponsive in the street beneath the elevated tracks and pronounced dead at the scene.
Mayor Adams has called on social media companies before to do their part to keep these videos off of their platforms, to discourage this dangerous behavior. However, some New Yorkers want the MTA to do more.
Police say a 14-year-old boy died Thursday evening after falling from a train near Queensboro Plaza around 5:30 p.m. The boy's identity was not released, and it wasn't clear if he was with anyone else at the time.
Mayor Eric Adams held a press conference after the Brooklyn incident in which he made demands for TikTok to take down videos that show kids subway surfing. He has said those videos have gained millions of views.
"Our deepest sympathies go out to family and friends of the young person involved in this incident," the TikTok spokesperson said. "This dangerous activity predates our platform, and we strictly remove such content if we see it on TikTok. More than 40,000 safety professionals are dedicated to keeping our community safe and work diligently to remove harmful content when found."
The MTA partnered with NYC Public Schools and DYCD to identify students from schools across the city who created the new campaign. Students from the High School of Art & Design in Manhattan created graphics, animations and artwork that will be seen throughout the subway system and on social media.
A group of middle school and high school students from the Academy of American Studies in Queens, the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan, I.S. 318 in Brooklyn, and DYCD summer programs went to MTA headquarters last month to record announcements explaining the dangers of riding outside of trains. Eight announcements, recorded in both English and Spanish, will be heard throughout the transit system beginning this week.
Because teenagers frequently post videos of themselves surfing to social media, the MTA has been asking that social media companies including Meta, Google and TikTok reduce access to these videos. Since this past spring the social media companies have removed more than 3,000 videos and photos showing subway surfing. Those companies also are making space on their platforms available to help distribute the new messaging campaign.
The MTA continues to meet with school administrators to ensure students are learning about the dangers of riding outside of train cars in school. The NYPD also has officers deployed at stations where subway surfing has been known to take place and makes home visits with young people who have been known to participate in subway surfing.
In 2023, there have been five fatalities due to suspected subway surfing, compared to five total fatalities between 2018 and 2022. The MTA has documented over 450 instances of people riding outside of trains between January and June in 2023.
In late June, the body of 15-year-old Jay Thirunarayanapuram, a student and artist at Albert Einstein High School in Montgomery County, was discovered near the Rhode Island Avenue-Brentwood Metro Station.
On sites like Instagram or TikTok, users document themselves exploring abandoned properties and off-limits areas such as roofs and subways. The urban exploration trend first appeared online in 2007 and grew into a loose-knit community of people.
However, the prevailing sentiment among the risk-takers was that the thrill was worth the danger, the parents said. In the event of a death, the urban exploring group believed it was to honor the memory of a person by continuing the exploration journey, the parents added.
The tally does not include incidents of people riding between cars, which is extremely dangerous, and activity under the urban exploration-related hashtags on TikTok shows young people regularly riding between cars.
This year, incidents of subway surfing have been reported in Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston and New York City, where four young people died from injuries suffered while riding on top of subway cars. There were just five subway surfing deaths in New York City in the previous four years.
Raskin also sent a letter on Sept. 8 to WMATA urging additional steps to prevent urban exploration and to alert the community to the dangers of such activities with more significant public awareness efforts.
WMATA said in a statement to CNS that it shares concerns with Raskin and has been working with New York City Transit, where subway surfing is more common, as well as safety advocate groups, to discourage the trend.

A 14-year-old boy was killed subway surfing in Brooklyn on Friday, and the devastating aftermath was captured in heart-rending Post images, including one of a single sneaker lying beneath the elevated tracks.
Witnesses told police that the teen had climbed atop a southbound F train as it approached the Avenue N stop, which sits along the border between the Borough Park and Midwood neighborhoods and fell onto the tracks around 2:20 p.m.
The incident is only the latest in a string of deaths over the past two years linked to the dangerous stunt, which officials say has become increasingly common as teens seek to emulate the daredevil behavior that is widely shared on social media services such as TikTok and Instagram.
MTA statistics show there were 450 reports of people riding outside of trains, including on top of them, during the first six months of 2023, a figure up sharply from 262 reported over the same time period in 2019.
More than two dozen state lawmakers say in a new letter that major social media companies are allowing subway surfing content to persist on their platforms, days after a 14-year-old died attempting to ride atop an F train in Brooklyn.
In the letter, state senators and assemblymembers wrote that the leaders of Instagram and Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat and TikTok on Friday had failed to live up to previous pledges to remove subway surfing content.
