A homeless man was killed when he ran head-first into the side of a northbound 2 train yesterday as it barreled into the Times Square station during the morning rush hour, police said.
Witness Antonio Garcia, who was standing on the uptown platform at around 10 a.m., said he saw the suicidal man wait for the first car of the Broadway express to pass him before he threw himself head first into the side of the train.
“He didn’t want to jump in front of the train. He didn’t want the guy to stop,” Garcia said.
Police said the man had no ID and appeared to be in his 30s or 40s.
