The deadly incident reportedly took place while the person was allegedly surfing on a 7-train.

First responders pronounced the person dead at the scene.

Police sources tell CBS2 the surfer is a teenager and the body was found by MTA motormen.

MTA officials have been urging people to not engage in this extremely dangerous activity, which is also illegal.

“This is stupid, it’s dangerous, it’s selfish, and it’s got to stop,” New York City Transit Authority president Andy Byford said during an MTA board meeting in May.

Subway surfing has been an ongoing problem that sources say happens roughly once a day in New York City.
