Late Wednesday evening, the 37 year old man was dragged by one train and then hit by another, although it is not clear how he became trapped. The incident took place near Flatbush.

New York City Transit President Richard Davey said the doors of the Q train he was exiting had already closed when the passenger, Marcus Bryant of Ocean Avenue, somehow became stuck.

Contrary to initial reports, the MTA says the man was not caught in the train through his clothing becoming entangled. In fact, it appears he was not caught in the door of the train at all.

Mr. Bryant was getting off a train at the Avenue M stop at East 16th Street shortly before midnight. Then he was hit by a northbound Q train.

He was taken to a hospital in critical condition, but later died.

As usual, the cameras weren’t working. The MTA is still in the stone age.

Very strange the station has two separate stations delegated by express tracks that means he was riding out side the train in order for a second train to kill him
