Two More Track Deaths

Two killed, another severely injured by trains across city in seven-hour span

Two men were killed and another was severely injured by trains across the city within a seven-hour span Friday and Saturday.

On Saturday morning, a man died after leaping in front of an oncoming train at a Bronx subway station, cops said.

The unidentified victim was struck by a southbound 1 train as it pulled into 231st St. station in Kingsbridge around 4:50 a.m., according to police.

The train's conductor saw the man jump from the platform, officials said.
 
In Harlem, a man was struck and killed by a downtown D train Friday night, police said.

The man was walking across the tracks — from the uptown platform to the downtown platform — in the B/D station on 155th St. and Frederick Douglass Blvd. at 11:20 p.m. when he was hit, cops said.

  ... In a separate incident in Brooklyn, thirty minutes earlier, a man lost part of his arm after being run over by a B train at the elevated Brighton Beach station.

The man was struck and trapped by the train around 10:50 p.m., officials said. He is expected to survive.
Two people killed by trains and -- what a surprise! -- they were both entirely responsible for their own deaths.

One "walker" and one "leaper." 

Both were killed in the off hours when "civilian" witnesses are rare.

There are -- most probably -- no surveillance cameras at the scene of these violent deaths so the MTA lawyers will have a no problem blaming the dead men. 

And, if these victims were actually murdered, their killers are as happy as those lawyers.
