In September, 11-year-old Cayden Thompson was struck in the head by a low metal beam and killed while riding on top of a G train in Brooklyn.

Local leaders have launched a public information campaign to warn teens about its dangers, but incidents appear to be increasing over the last year, according to NYPD data.

Five people were killed last year, according to police.
