Two Young Adults Killed by Subway Train at Manhattan's Spring Street StationPreviousNext

A 24-year-old man, Kaul Navam from New Jersey, and a 24-year-old woman, Malaika Chitre from New York, died after being struck by a southbound No. 4 subway train at Manhattan's Spring Street station early Sunday. Footage shows them sitting on the tracks as the train approached. Authorities found no evidence of pushing or accidental falls and are investigating whether intoxication played a role. The station was closed following the incident. This follows recent subway-related fatalities, including an MTA worker's death in early September.
