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.Two people killed by trains and -- what a surprise! -- they were both entirely responsible for their own deaths.
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.
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.
