A 12-year-old boy was seriously hurt when he fell off a Queens train while subway surfing during the Friday morning rush, cops said.
The pre-teen was recklessly riding on top of a No. 7 train at the 111th Street station in Corona around 8:15 a.m. when he fell off the side, authorities said.
He landed on the tracks but was not struck by the train, police said.
