A 37-year-old subway rider died after being dragged by a train -- and then hit by another -- after he somehow got trapped between the platform and the Q he was deboarding in Brooklyn, officials said Thursday.
It's a scene that likely appears in many New Yorkers' nightmares but one that apparently didn't involve the victim's pants or another clothing item getting stuck in the subway doors as the NYPD initially described. Speaking from the Midwood station Thursday, New York City Transit President Richard Davey said the doors had already closed when the rider, identified by police as Marcus Bryant of Ocean Avenue, somehow got stuck between the train and platform.
"This was not a door incident," Davey emphasized. He said there was one witness and MTA employees have been questioned and undergone drug and alcohol testing, as per agency protocol, following what happened. The investigation is ongoing.
