A group of at least eight young people was caught ‘surfing’ a J Line train over the Williamsburg Bridgewhich crosses in both directions from Manhattan to Brooklyn.
The images were shared on Twitter and you can see the young people walking on the train cars, while it is running, near the station on Marcy Avenue.
The NYPD claims it is aware of the videos and the youth could be charged trespassing and reckless endangerment, according to a Daily Mail report.
MTA authorities did not comment on the case, but told The New York Post that police are following up on the report.
Some trains can reach 50 miles per hour, according to a report by The Gothamist, which makes surfing any train particularly dangerous.
In mid-May, two teenagers were arrested for ‘surfing’ cars on Line 7 in Queens.
The teens, a 15-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy, were seen late as the train headed to the 40th Street station, were detained and taken to the local police station, but were later released to their parents.
In the last five years, several people have suffered fatal falls for surfing, such as in 2021, when a man fell from the top of a J Line train on the Williamsburg Bridge, the same one where this week’s video was captured.
