Two Friends Killed by NYC Subway Train at Spring Street Station Under Investigation
Two 24-year-old friends, Malaika Chitre, an Indian-origin woman, and Navam Kaul, a Nepali-American man, were fatally struck by a New York City subway train at the Spring Street station in Manhattan early Sunday. Surveillance footage shows them sitting on the tracks shortly before the train arrived. Investigators are examining whether one fell onto the tracks and the other tried to help, and whether intoxication or other factors played a role. No suicide notes were found, and the incident remains under investigation.
