11-year-old boy killed subway surfing in Brooklyn youngest fatality in recent memory

A boy just 11 years old was killed subway surfing in Park Slope, Brooklyn, Monday morning — the fourth youngster to die riding on top of trains this year and the youngest fatality in recent memory.

The others who died were all young teenagers — 13, 14 and 15.

The victim struck his head on an overhang at the Fourth Ave./Ninth St. stop in Park Slope at about 10:10 a.m. then fell to the tracks and was run over by the G train, cops said.

He died at the scene. The victim’s name was not immediately released. The 11-year-old is the youngest person in recent memory to be killed while participating the deadly stunt.

In March, cops caught a 10-year-old attempting to ride atop an A train in the Rockaways — but were able to remove him from the train and return him to his mother before he could be injured or killed.

The NYPD, MTA, and city officials have been pushing to alert young people to the dangers of subway surfing after a string of deadly mishaps, many fueled by social media.

“This is another avoidable heart-wrenching reminder that riding outside trains is not a game, and the subway is not a social media studio,” Demetrius Crichlow, NYC Transit’s interim president, said in a statement Monday.

“It should not take more tragic termination of young lives for parents and classmates of those who would climb on top of subway cars to help them comprehend the devastating risk.”

A spokeswoman for the agency said MTA staff continues to flag social media displays of subway surfing in an effort to remove content that lionizes the often fatal activity.

To date, according to the MTA’s data, 10,650 such posts have been removed across various social media platforms.

Monday’s horror is the fourth recorded subway surfing death this year, according to the NYPD.

In July, 15-year-old Anthony Bhagwandeen was found dead with a severe head injury on the elevated tracks at the Beach 90th St. station in the Rockaways, a death cops believe was the result of subway surfing.

Prior to that, in June, a 13-year-old boy died after falling from a northbound No. 6 train in Pelham Bay.

Alam Reyes, 14, died in January when he fell while surfing a Coney Island-bound F train. His half-brother told The News at the time that Reyes had apparently been following multiple subway surfers on social media.
