BRIARWOOD, Queens (WABC) -- A teenager was injured while subway surfing in Queens Saturday night.

It happened just before 9 p.m. at the Briarwood station off Queens Boulevard and Main Street.

The 16-year-old was train surfing when he fell off the top of an F Train.

He suffered injuries to his legs and was conscious when he was taken to the hospital.

The MTA has been trying to discourage subway surfing, including blasting taped messages in stations read by young people, advising would-be subway surfers to "ride inside, stay alive."
