Authorities are seeking criminal complaints against a pair of suspects who were caught on video attempting dangerous stunts while riding on top of a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority train.

Transit police say the incident, which has recently been circulating on social media, is believed to be several months old.

The video shows two suspects riding on top of an inbound Red Line train between North Quincy Station and JFK Station. The duo then jump from the top of the train into the Neponset River below.

Officials say they’re actively investigating the incident.

“First and foremost, the stunt depicted within the video is incredibly dangerous and could easily lead to a fatality,” a spokesperson for Transit police said. “Additionally, the actions depicted within are illegal.”

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact transit officials.
