A 24-year-old Red Sox fan died Wednesday after attempting to climb on top of a Connecticut-bound Metro-North train on his way home from Yankee Stadium, the New York Post reports.
The train left Yankee Stadium just before 11 p.m. About half an hour after departure, a pair of brothers tried to climb from inside a car onto the roof. As Michael Vigeant of Hudson, NH, was attempting to climb out of the train, he was electrocuted by overhead wires, MTA officials told the Post.
Vigeant had come into contact with a catenary wire. Train personnel were able to get his brother down safely.
