Yesterday, we reported that a 57-year-old man had some of the skin on his face torn off after leaning into the tracks (the Post says it was to "peer down the tunnel,") and then somehow not having enough time to lean back in before the train came. We won't speculate as to how this was even possible—it would take probably a fraction of a second to pull your head back in, and if the train were already in the station he would not be leaning to check if it were coming—but it turns out the victim is Will Rokos, the Adacemy Award nominated writer of 2001's Monster's Ball. more ›

And this is why they tell you stand back from the edge of the platform. A 57-year-old man had some skin torn from his face when he was struck by an oncoming subway. The victim had been leaning over the tracks to check for an oncoming train at the uptown 2 station at West 14th Street yesterday afternoon, yet somehow didn't have enough time to lean back before the train actually came. He was thrown back from the platform, and a Post staffer who witnessed the aftermath said, "His hand was twitching a little, he was lying on his side." more ›

Police are investigating the death of someone hit by a subway at the Union Street Station in Brooklyn. The person was struck by a southbound N train, and WABC 7 reports that a witness says the victim, apparently a male, was "pushed onto the tracks" just after 5 a.m. Currently, there are delays: NYC Transit says Bay Parkway-bound M and Bay Ridge-bound R trains are running on the N line from the Pacific Street Station to the 36th Street Station. Also, expect delays on the D, M, N and R train. more ›
