A man was fatally run over by a northbound N train yesterday morning. According to the NY Times, no criminal activity is suspected:
A man who said he was a witness, Karriem Torres, said the victim had been running to catch the train and climbed between two cars. He slipped under the train as it began to move and he screamed, Mr. Torres said, adding that by the time the train stopped, the man had been crushed.
Yikes.
A year and a half ago, a man tried to board a train by climbing over the gates between the first and second cars of a C train, only to become stuck between the platform and train and getting dragged. Back then, we noticed that the MTA's safety suggestions say, "Boarding between subway cars may seem like a time-saver, but it is highly dangerous."
