Subway "surfer" killed in New York
NEW YORK (AFP) — A 21-year-old man was killed playing the dangerous game of "surfing" atop a moving subway train, from which he was thrown to his death, local media reported Tuesday.
After his feat of daring, the man slipped and fell onto the tracks where he was killed Monday, media said quoting police.
In 2003, three people including a 14-year-old were killed trying similar stunts.
Authorities had launched a campaign aimed at deterring youths from taking such risks on the subway, urging them to surf the Internet instead.
