Subway surfer, 13, lucky to escape serious injury after falling from Brooklyn train

A 13-year-old boy spotted subway surfing in Brooklyn was rushed to the hospital after he fell from the top of a train car, cops said Tuesday.

The adolescent survived the harrowing ordeal with minor injuries — a better outcome than another 13-year-old boy who was listed in critical condition after falling from a Queens train on Friday, officials said.

The latest teen to fall from a subway car was seen riding atop an R train heading into the Bay Ridge Ave. station around 4:30 p.m. Monday when witnesses said he lost his balance and fell onto the track bed.

The child suffered a minor head injury and was taken to Maimonides Medical Center, cops said.

The teen was charged with reckless endangerment.

At about 8:15 a.m. Friday, a 13-year-old boy fell off a northbound No. 7 train. He was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital with extensive injuries to his head and neck.

He was listed in critical but stable condition Friday. The NYPD hadn’t received an update on the boy’s condition Tuesday.

On Saturday, Mayor Adams said he was “praying for this young man and his family.”

“Subway surfing continues to put our young people at risk, which is why we’re focused on education efforts and live monitoring with drones, but we know we need to get through to more young people,” the mayor said on X.

Early Thursday, another young teen was injured while riding on top of a moving bus in Queens.

The 14-year-old boy fell from the Q20 bus in Kew Gardens Hills as it was traveling east on Main St. and passing 77th Ave. at 2:23 a.m., cops said.

He was taken to Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park with a broken arm, police said.

Six people, most of them teens, died while subway surfing in New York City last year. The youngest was just 11.

In November 2024, a drone assisted the NYPD in arresting two teens who had been riding atop a No. 7 train.

Mobbed-up Long Island cop staged fake raid at rival ‘Sal the Shoemaker’ gambling parlor: feds

A mobbed-up Nassau cop working behind-the-scenes for the Bonanno crime family staged a fake raid to shut down a gambling parlor run by rival Genovese gangster Salvatore “Sal the Shoemaker” Rubino, federal prosecutors charge in new court filings. Now-fired Nassau County Police Department Detective Hector Rosario allegedly had a side gig working for the Bonanno crime family — and the Bonannos considered Rubino’s gambling den in his Merrick, L.I. shop, Sal’s Shoe Repair, the competition, the feds say. So in 2013 or 2014, two Bonanno members paid Rosario to shut the place down and Rosario got to work, according to a January filing by federal prosecutors. The two Bonannos who gave the order are expected to sing at Rosario’s trial in Brooklyn Federal Court next month. Neither are named in the court filings. One of the informants, a Bonanno associate, is expected to testify he was in the room when Rosario and his “associates” barged into Rubino’s shoe repair shop, broke one of the gamb...

Unclaimed Funds Archive

What are unclaimed property and unclaimed funds? Perhaps you forgot to cash a check, overpaid a bill, or didn’t know you were the beneficiary of a long-lost relative’s life insurance policy. There are many reasons why you may be owed money and not be aware of it. That is why banks, insurance companies, courts, corporations, and other organizations are required by law to attempt to notify you by mail and publish information regarding unclaimed property in the newspaper. What happens to unclaimed property? Organizations have between one and five years to try to reunite account holders with their property, depending on the state and industry. After that “dormancy period,” the funds are turned over to the state. The NY State Comptroller will hold on to unclaimed funds indefinitely, just waiting for you to file a claim. How to find lost money: Search for your name—and your family members’ names—in the unclaimed property and funds lists published in the New York Daily News, linked below...
