Man Hit by Train at Church Avenue

We don’t know all the details yet, but the FDNY tells us that a man was apparently hit by the subway at the Church Avenue station today around 6:30pm.

They say that the man was brought to Kings County Hospital, and they do not believe he will survive.

As of this posting, Manhattan-bound B/Q trains are running express between Kings Highway and Prospect Park.

A neighbor who was waiting for the train said on Twitter that she saw it happen, saying she believes it was a suicide attempt. Our thoughts go out to the man, his family and friends, and any neighbors who were standing on that platform.

We will update as we learn more.
