A 15-year-old parkour player is in critical condition after hitting his head while skating on the roof of the 7 train in Queens, reports New York Post.

Police found an unconscious teenager with a severe head injury on the roof of a train car at the 111th Street station around 18:30 p.m. June 23. He was riding on the roof of a southbound train number 7 when he hit his head on an unknown object.

Footage from the scene shows officers and medics lifting the teenager from the roof of a train car and placing him on a subway platform. The footage shows how the teenager's head is bleeding profusely. He was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital, where the teenager was in critical condition.

In connection with the incident, train No. 7 was delayed in both directions.

Tragic parkour accident is the second on the subway in less than two weeks

Earlier this month there was a video, in which a group of 8 people run on the roof of the J train cars bound for Brooklyn. However, those daredevils have not yet been found.

On the subject: Risky stunt: New Yorkers ride on the roof of a moving subway train

Last October, a 32-year-old man fell to his death while riding on the roof of a J train on Essex Street.

The 14-year-old died in 2019 while riding on top of the 7 train bound for Manhattan. In the same year, reports of riding on the roof of a subway train increased by 15% compared to the previous year. But the transport service officials believe that this number was greatly underestimated.

MTA officials have scolded any would-be daredevils wanting to experience the thrill of riding on the roof of a moving subway train.

“Riding on the roof of a subway car is reckless and extremely dangerous. This results in significant delays for other New Yorkers, Pat Warren, MTA chief safety and security officer, said in a statement. “Searching for thrills that are fraught with heartache for family and friends is reckless. Choose other ways to have fun. The kind that show respect for those you care about.”
