Manchester: Recently, two teens decided to take a wild ride on the outside of a moving tram. Yeah, you heard that right! They were just chilling on the front, feet dangling dangerously close to the tracks.
These crazy antics were caught on camera near Manchester College, and let me tell you, people were not happy. Social media blew up with comments, and one person even said they hoped the parents would step in and give them a talking-to.
Another commenter was really upset, saying it made them feel sick just thinking about what could happen if one of them slipped off. It’s pretty scary stuff!
Transport for Greater Manchester didn’t take this lightly. They called the act “incredibly reckless” and confirmed that the police were notified. Ian Davies, the Network Director for Metrolink, warned that this kind of behavior could lead to serious injuries or even death.
He urged everyone to think twice before doing something so dangerous. Plus, he reminded folks to report any risky behavior they see on the trams.
As of now, Greater Manchester Police hasn’t released any statements about the incident, but it’s clear that this kind of stunt is not something to take lightly.
