"Riding on top of a subway car is reckless, extremely dangerous and inconsiderate as it causes significant delays for other New Yorkers," said Pat Warren, MTA Chief Safety and Security Officer. "Seeking a thrill that promises heartache for family and friends is foolhardy; choose other avenues to have some fun, ones that demonstrate respect for those you care about."
The teen was taken to Elmhurst Hospital, where he's listed in critical condition.
