A 17-year-old boy suffered multiple injuries including to his head, chest, and pelvis after falling from the outside of a northbound train on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Emergency services responded to the railway corridor between Wynyard and Milsons Point stations following reports of the fall, and the teenager was subsequently transported to Royal North Shore hospital in a critical condition.
