The NYPD is asking the public to assist them in finding the two suspects who took an unoccupied subway car on a joyride last week. The pair fled the scene after the train crashed.

NEW YORK (Gray News) - An 11-year-old boy reportedly died Monday after subway surfing in New York City. CBS News New York reports that Cayden Thompson was riding on top of a G train when he hit his head on a metal overhang by the Fourth Avenue station and died.

New York police have arrested one of two people they suspect of taking and crashing an empty subway train. The person arrested, a 17-year-old girl, is charged with criminal mischief over the incident in Briarwood subway station in Queens, shortly after midnight on 12 September.

Protests against the police shooting of an alleged fare evader and two bystanders on Wednesday were confronted with brutality by the New York Police Department.

The incident happened at the Briarwood subway station, according to the New York Police Department. While ABC News reports the out-of-service train only traveled about 50 feet, the alleged theft comes as local offcials ordered a large increase in law enforcement in New York's subway system to ensure the safety of riders.

A search is underway in New York City for two suspects, including one dressed all in pink, who allegedly crashed an empty subway train after brazenly walking into a station and stealing it, authorities said.

Police have arrested a teenage girl after an empty New York City subway train was taking on a brief joyride by two people before they crashed it and fled. They are looking for a male companion they believe was also pictured on the train.

One suspect was last seen wearing a pink shower cap, pink sleeveless shirt and pink shorts and carrying a pink handbag.
