Police have revealed that a teen was left in critical condition after subway surfing in the Bronx and a young woman died after being fatally struck by a Manhattan train in two horrifying yet separate incidents inside the city’s subway system.
Cops say while he was riding on top of a northbound 5 train shortly after 4 p.m. on Monday, the teenage boy fell onto the tracks at the Baychester subway station and was left with injuries.
Paramedics quickly got to the victim, who police revealed is between the ages of 14 and 16 years old.

According to the New York Police Department, the teen was taken to Jacobi Hospital and was listed in critical condition before the death of a young woman a few hours later.
That evening, a woman, 24, was struck and killed by a northbound L train at the Union Square subway station, according to cops.
Witnesses told police that at around 10:20 p.m., the woman jumped down onto the tracks of her own will.
Nonetheless, when the northbound train was pulling into the station, she scrambled to climb out, police said, per witnesses.
Unfortunately, she didn’t make it in time and was hit, as paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene at 10:27 p.m., cops stated.
For now, it remains unclear why she jumped onto the tracks, and officers say the incident remains under investigation, but it appears no criminality is suspected at this time.
L train service between 8th Avenue and Bedford Avenue was suspended for about an hour, and then partially restored, according to The Post.
