Police say a New York City teen has died after attempting to perform a dangerous stunt at a subway station in Brooklyn.
The New York Police Department says the victim, an unidentified 14-year-old boy, was riding in between the cars of a southbound L train when he tried to jump onto the platform at the New Lots Avenue station around 10:40 p.m. Wednesday.
With the train still pulling into the station, police say the teen missed his mark and landed on the tracks.

The boy's death comes just days after a 31-year-old Bronx man was decapitated while "subway surfing" in Greenwich Village.
