A man was struck and killed by a Manhattan-bound C train at 9:30 this morning. He was hit as the train pulled into the Franklin Avenue station in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.
The 67-year-old was on the catwalk beyond the end of the platform when he was hit. He has not yet been identified, pending notification of his family. Police said the man had a South Carolina address.
It was the second time someone was hit and killed by a train in the last two days.
C train service was suspended completely when power was shut down to the third rail so police could investigate. Service on the A train service was partially suspended and restored just after 11 a.m. after delays ran through the line into Manhattan. Power was restored about 11:15 a.m.
