Another 14-year-old boy died in a subway surfing incident on the same subway line in May. 

He was killed while riding across the Williamsburg Bridge atop a J/M train while his 18-year-old pal was seriously injured.

Zemfira Mukhtarov, 12, and Ebba Morina, 13, were also killed while riding on top of a Brooklyn-bound J train last October, police said. 

Mukhtarov’s mother, Nataliya Rudenko, told The Post that she was heartbroken by the death of her daughter, who posted about her thrill-seeking adventures on TikTok.
