A man was struck by a Long Island Railroad train in Queens, the MTA said.
The Ronkonkoma bound train was pulling into the Woodside station around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday when it struck the 39-year-old victim, who somehow ended up on the tracks, officials said.
Eastbound service was suspended as firefighters and MTA Police pulled the person from under the train and rushed him to Elmhurst Hospital. The patient’s condition was unknown.
Passengers were given the option of taking a train back to Penn Station or having their tickets cross-honored by the subway system.
MTA cops are still trying to determine how the man ended up on the tracks.
