LOWER EAST SIDE, Manhattan (WABC) -- Two young adults were critically injured after falling while subway surfing on Friday.

The two fell from the J train as it crossed from the Williamsburg Bridge into Manhattan just before 6 p.m.

One fell from the train onto the tracks on the bridge and the other dropped through the tracks on the bridge and into a lot on Delancey Street. They are both in critical condition.

This is the second consecutive Friday where there was subway surfing on that line, at the same location on the Williamsburg Bridge.
