Two men killed themselves by jumping in front of moving Manhattan subway trains in separate incidents just two hours apart Monday morning, police said.
A 47-year-old man jumped in front of a downtown No. 6 train at the E. 86th St. station on the Upper East Side about 8 a.m. ET and died at the scene, police said.
Then a 22-year-old man was struck by a downtown No. 2 train at the W. 72nd St. station on the Upper West Side about 10 a.m. ET, cops said.
Medics rushed him to Mount Sinai West but he could not be saved. Police said it wasn’t clear if the man jumped in front of the train or had earlier climbed down onto the tracks but the incident was considered a suicide.
