A suicidal man died after jumping in front of a subway train in Manhattan this morning, police said.
The unidentified victim was near the edge of the platform at Eighth Avenue and West 23rd Street in Chelsea around 9:30 a.m. as the E train neared the station, sources said. He stepped back about 10 feet before taking a running leap just before the train arrived, sources added.
The MTA suspended C trains and rerouted E trains below 53rd Street and Fifth Avenue for about two hours after the incident.
