Boy's Arm Severed In Queens Subway Accident: Police

JACKSON HEIGHTS, QUEENS — A teenage boy's arm was severed in an accident at a Jackson Heights subway station Monday morning, police said.

The 15-year-old boy may have been trying to subway-surf when he fell to the tracks around 10:30 a.m. at the northbound E-M-F-R platform at the Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue station, an NYPD spokesperson said.

A train pulling out of the station crushed the boy, severing his left arm, police said. He was in stable condition at Bellevue Hospital, police said.

It remained unclear how the teenager had fallen, but police said he was not the victim of a crime. Investigators were reviewing security footage at the station, police said.

The MTA said northbound M and R trains skipped Roosevelt Avenue for more than an hour while the NYPD conducted an investigation at the station, and trains along the E, F, M and R lines were all running with delays in both directions.

Trains resumed making normal stops by 12:17 p.m., according to tweets by the MTA.
