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. [Photo by Wally G]
