A man and a woman died after they both intentionally jumped in front of a train at the Broadway Junction subway station in Brooklyn. The incident happened on Thursday afternoon at around 4:45 P.M.

Initially, the pair were thought to have been in their 30s. But NYPD said early morning on Friday that the man, who was 54-years-old, pulled Cynthia Raiser, 42, onto the track bed from the platform. They were both struck by a Manhattan-bound C train.

NYPD reports that Raiser was pronounced dead at the scene. The man was then rushed to Brookdale Hospital but was later pronounced dead. It wasn’t clear whether the pair knew each other and what the man’s motive was for pulling the woman with him onto the train tracks.

Commuters were stuck at the stations during rush hour. There were significant disruptions in both Queens and Brooklyn during that evening. Train lines resumed their services by late Thursday.

There is limited A & C service between lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, & Queens because two people were struck by a train at Broadway Junction. We are working with the NYPD to restore regular service, but at this time please continue to consider alternate travel options.
