Drone surveillance catches kids in dangerous high-speed stunt atop moving subway train in New York City

Four young individuals, including one 12-year-old, were caught by police after being seen by an NYPD drone riding atop a speeding train in New York City on Thursday, zooming through various stations.

The footage, provided to Fox News Digital by the NYPD, reveals the group of subway surfers—aged between 12 and 16—scaling the side of a moving northbound 6 express train as it traveled under the Westchester Avenue Bridge.

The minors can then be seen standing up and forming a line, some of them jumping up and down and spreading their arms.

An NYPD spokesperson shared via email with Fox News Digital that “These apprehensions represent the 200th subway surfing incident intercepted by the Drone Team since they began operations in November 2023, saving 200 lives over the past 20 months.”

In 2023, a 15-year-old boy was killed while subway surfing on a train crossing the Williamsburg Bridge in New York City. The teen was standing on top of a northbound J train when he struck his head on a structure and fell below the train.
