Another Late Night "Accident"

Ho hum.

 Man struck, killed by 1 train in Washington Heights

An unidentified man was fatally struck by a train in Washington Heights early Friday, witnesses and police said.

The man was found lying on the tracks of the northbound 1 train at the 168th St. subway station, police said, when he was hit. Paramedics arrived to the scene, but the man couldn't be saved.

"The guy fell and I guess the train couldn't stop," said a witness, who didn't want to give his name.

The victim's name has not been released pending family notification, officials said.

No criminality is suspected, police said.

Just another wacky middle-aged passenger doing what the NYPD claims is normal in the very late hours: putting himself in harm's way

Did that anonymous "witness" actually see the victim fall or was that just an NYPD-encouraged surmise?



Note to the victim's family: your chances of suing the MTA successfully are zero.

As I said, ho hum.
