F Train Surfer Falls To His Death This Morning At 4th Avenue & 9th Street
A subway surfer fell to his death early this morning while climbing a Coney Island-bound F train. His body was recovered at the Fourth Avenue & Ninth Street station, said cops.
A witness saw a man snaking between cars and climbing toward the top of the train — otherwise known as subway surfing — before falling, just before 5am on Wednesday, October 5, according to police. The man died on the scene, and his body was found on the tracks with massive head trauma.
#ServiceAlert: Following an earlier incident at 4 Av-9 St, F and G train service has resumed with delays.
