A man died early Tuesday after he tumbled from a Queens subway platform and was struck by an oncoming No. 7 train, police said.
The unidentified victim was waiting at the Junction Blvd. stop at Roosevelt Ave. in Jackson Heights at about 7:10 a.m. when witnesses saw him nearing the lip of the platform.
The man fell onto the tracks, just as a Manhattan-bound No. 7 train entered the station.
He was struck by the oncoming train and died at the scene, cops said. His name was not immediately released as cops tracked down relatives.
Witnesses said the victim didn’t jump and wasn’t pushed onto the tracks. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused his fall.
No. 7 train service was shut down between the Flushing-Main St. and 33 St.-Rawson St. stops as police investigated the incident.
In a separate, unrelated incident, a man fell onto the tracks along the No. 5 express line at the 86th St. station near Lexington Ave. at about 8 a.m., but he managed to get back onto the platform before a train arrived.
The man suffered cuts and bruises from the fall and was taken to New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center for observation.
