18-year-old Czech man dies in Vienna after injury while riding roof of U-Bahn carriage

The second of the two young men from Czechia who were injured on October 29th while riding on the roof of a Vienna metro train has now died. The death of the 18-year-old was confirmed today by the Vienna General Hospital, following the death of a boy a year younger last Saturday. The two teenagers, the older a Czech citizen and the younger a Ukrainian citizen with permanent residence in Czechia, were taking part in the online trend of 'metro-surfing' when they were killed close to Schönbrunn station. The public-transport operator Wiener Linien has expressed condolences and urged the general public not to take such risks for the sake of social-media content.
