Four people are believed to have jumped in front of New York City subway trains in less than 24 hours, transit sources told the Daily News Thursday, characterizing it as a particularly grim day on the system.
Service was delayed on the No. 7 line Thursday afternoon after an unidentified person jumped in front of a Queens-bound train as it entered the 103rd St. Station in Corona shortly after 2:30 p.m.
The incident happened barely an hour after another person was hit by an uptown No. 1 train as the subway entered the 191st St. Station in Washington Heights. A transit source told The News that that person survived the apparent suicide attempt, and was rushed to an area hospital.
Another person was killed Wednesday night after sources say they jumped in front of a No. 2 train at the 96th St. Station on the Upper West Side around 7:30 p.m., less than an hour after another apparent Wednesday night suicide-by-train at the 207th St. Station on the No. 1 line.
An NYPD spokesperson confirmed that no criminality was suspected in any of the four incidents.
