Briefing by News4U · First published
The Guardian reports that a 17-year-old boy is in critical condition after falling from the outside of a northbound Tangara train on the Sydney Harbour Bridge around 11.30am on Thursday while likely train surfing. Emergency services, including a Careflight helicopter and NSW ambulance paramedics, treated the teenager for multiple injuries to his head, chest and pelvis before transporting him to Royal North Shore hospital. Police Inspector Luke Barrett said the boy was with two others who are assisting inquiries, and Acting Sydney Trains chief executive Jas Tumbler described the incident as “really tragic” and warned against the “five seconds of social media fame.” [1]
