Two female teens, one who was just 13 years old, were killed in what police believe to be a subway surfing stunt in New York early Saturday.

The police were contacted just after 3:00 am from the Marcy Avenue-Broadway station. They found the two teen girls on top of a subway train unresponsive.

This all too common and perilous stunt has led to five deaths in 2025 alone.

In 2024, there were six deaths, and in 2023, there were five deaths from subway surfing.

New York Post Reported:

Two teenage girls — including a 13-year-old — were killed in what police believe was a horrific subway-surfing tragedy on a Brooklyn train, officials said Saturday.

The latest incident brings the total number of subway surfing victims so far this year to five, police said, nearing the 2024 total of six fatalities and matching the five people killed in the stunts in 2023.

Police believe the second victim was between the ages of 13 to 18. Both girls were pronounced dead at the scene.

In the latest deaths, cops were called at 3:10 a.m. to the Marcy Avenue-Broadway subway station in Williamsburg, where they found the girls unconscious and unresponsive on top of the Brooklyn-bound J train, police sources said.

“Officers were seen speaking to three teen boys inside the station, then driving two of the boys away in a cruiser,” New York Post reported.

Some witnesses said the girls were with about 15 teenagers in the train before they were discovered on the roof.

Subway surfing has become a very dangerous trend and has been fueled in recent years by social media. Teens post videos of themselves surfing on subways, which may encourage others to take the same risk, potentially costing them their lives.

The MTA has been trying to stop this deadly trend by encouraging parents to get involved in protecting their children. They have also been running a PSA called “Ride Inside, Stay Alive.”

The NYPD has also been using drones in the last couple of years to catch people riding the subway on the outside of the trains.
