THE BRONX (WPIX) – Four boys who were recently saved while subway surfing in the Bronx are among the 200 people NYPD drones have rescued since the program began, police said Tuesday.
Last week, drones spotted the kids — ages 16, 15, 12, and 12 — riding on top of the northbound 6 express train as it sped under a bridge and through multiple above-ground stations in the Bronx last Thursday, according to the NYPD.
Footage released by the NYPD first shows one of the boys climbing onto the roof of the train and immediately crouching as it passes under the Westchester Avenue Bridge. The three other boys then emerge from between the train cars and get to their feet. One of the kids slips after standing up.

After the NYPD’s Drone Team sent officers the boys’ descriptions, police say they were able to stop the train and apprehend the boys before they were seriously injured…
