The dramatic clip, recorded at the scene, shows law enforcement officers and paramedics lifting the teen off the train car roof and laying him down on the subway platform while he was suffering a heavy bleed.
Officers believe the boy was riding on top of the train when he hit his head on an unknown object.
He was rushed to Elmhurst Hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
Trains were delayed in both directions following the incident, which reports say is the second subway surfing incident in the last two weeks.
Earlier this month, a Twitter video showed around eight people running on top of a Brooklyn-bound J train as it crossed the Williamsburg Bridge. They have not been identified.
