A 15-year-old subway surfer was clinging to life early Friday after he struck his head while riding on the roof of a 7 train in Queens, sources said.

Cops found the teenager unconscious and suffering a severe head injury on top of a train car inside the 111th Street station in North Corona at around 6:30 p.m. Thursday night, according to law enforcement sources.

Police believe the boy was riding atop the south-bound 7 Train on elevated tracks when he struck his head on an unknown object.

Dramatic images from the scene shows officers and paramedics lifting the teen off the train car roof and laying him down onto the subway platform. The teen’s head was bleeding profusely in the footage.

Somewhere out there, there is a lawyer figuring out how he can successfully sue the city on behalf of that kid.
