Man Killed By F Train In Latest Deadly NYC Subway Hit: NYPD

NEW YORK CITY — A man was struck and killed by an F train near a Manhattan station in the subway system's latest deadly incident, police said.

The fatal hit unfolded Thursday morning near the West Fourth Street-Washington Square station as a train headed north along the tracks, authorities said.

A train operator spotted a man on the tracks shortly before 5 a.m. and tried to stop, an NYPD spokesperson said.

But the train couldn't stop in time and struck the man, police said.

EMS crews responded and pronounced the man dead about 6:15 a.m., FDNY and NYPD officials said.

The incident is only the latest recent fatality for the city's subways.

Another man was fatally struck Tuesday along the F line near the Avenue N station, Gothamist first reported.

And NYPD officials this week said a severed leg recently found along tracks in The Bronx could have been dragged from a fatal train hit in Lower Manhattan days before.

F line trains Thursday morning experienced some delays from the crash that were resolved. As of publication, however, they were delayed again by a person being disruptive on a train near 18th Avenue, the MTA posted.
