The most recent incident happened Thursday evening. Officers with the New York Police Department responded to the 33 Street and Rawson Street subway station in Queens around 5:26 p.m. to find an unconscious Jevon Fraser.
Fraser was lying on a 7 train platform and had injuries “indicative of falling from an elevated height,” according to police. He was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Subway surfing on top of a @NYCTSubway is a dangerous & reckless act. The only way to get to your destination safely is by riding INSIDE the train car. Your safety is important to us.
