A 13-year-old girl was one of two teens found dead on top of a Brooklyn train overnight in what investigators believe may have been a fatal subway surfing incident, police sources said Saturday.
Cops were called at 3:10 a.m. to the Marcy Avenue-Broadway subway station in Williamsburg, where they found the girls unconscious and unresponsive on the Brooklyn-bound J train, the sources said.
The victims were pronounced dead at the scene. The second victim is believed to be between 13- and 18-years-old, sources said.
Officers were seen speaking to three teen boys inside the station, then driving two of the boys away in a cruiser.
No arrests have been made and no criminality is suspected, police said.
Cops and firemen were also seen carrying a plastic bag and skateboard out of the station. It’s unclear if the items belonged to the victims, who have yet to be publicly identified.
