Man killed by Q train at Times Square-42nd St. subway station


A man was killed by a Q train at the Times Square-42nd St. station late Friday night.

According to a witness, the man was squatting near the edge of the uptown Q express platform — then suddenly threw himself in front of an oncoming train.

It happened at 10:28 p.m., according to police.

“He squatted. I saw him jump,” Chaz Rodriguez, 35, a bartender from Queens, told a Daily News reporter who happened to have been on that subway.

“He went in front of the train,” Rodriguez said. “He was cut in half. I was standing right there. Nobody pushed him.”

The man had been squatting midway down the platform when he plunged in front of the train, which came to a stop after about half of its cars had passed over him.

From what could be seen, he was well dressed, sporting a gold-link bracelet on his wrist and a dress shirt.

A police spokesperson confirmed that the man, as yet unidentified, jumped in front of the subway and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Q train was held in the station as police and firefighters worked to remove the man’s body from underneath it.
