A 13-year-old boy was killed and an older teen was critically injured in separate subway surfing mishaps in the Bronx early Friday — the latest victims of the troublesome trend, according to police and sources.
The younger teen fell off a northbound 6-train between the Westchester Square and Middletown Road stations in Pelham just before 9 a.m., cops and the sources said.
He was found unconscious and unresponsive in the street beneath the elevated tracks.
The teen was declared dead at the scene.
Hours earlier, a 15-year-old boy was seriously injured while riding on top of another northbound 6 train at the Morris Ave.-Soundview station in Soundview, according to police.
The 15-year-old was taken to Jacobi Hospital in critical condition, cops said.
The pair of incidents come just days after a 14-year-old boy was critically injured subway surfing in Queens.
The reckless teen was riding atop a southbound 7 train on Sunday when his head struck a beam as the train pulled into the 111th Street Station just before 4:30 p.m., police said.
