Mocobizscene- A man in his 50s was tragically killed by a southbound Q train at the Prospect Park station in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn. The incident occurred around 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, according to the NYPD as reported by the New York Post.
According to an MTA worker who witnessed the incident, the individual involved was described as being in his 50s or 60s, not a young person. The worker speculated that the person may have been emotionally disturbed, as they were acting erratically. The situation escalated when the individual climbed on top of the train and unfortunately, their jacket became entangled on a signal pole, causing them to end up underneath the Q train.
According to a post by NYCT Subway on X, the fatality caused significant disruption to B and Q trains traveling through Brooklyn on Tuesday.
