A subway surfer was killed when he was catapulted underneath a Brooklyn train during a tragic rush-hour mishap Tuesday morning, cops and witnesses said.
The man — described as in his 50s — was fatally struck by a southbound Q train at the Prospect Park station at Ocean Avenue and Lincoln Road in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens around 8:30 a.m., the NYPD said.
Witnesses told police the victim was surfing the train before the deadly incident, authorities said.
He was pronounced dead by responding EMS workers and no criminality was suspected.
One MTA employee told The Post that the victim “was going nuts on the train” before he began surfing.
“He was in his 50s or 60s; not a kid,” the worker said. “Maybe an [emotionally disturbed person]. He was going nuts. He got on top of the train and then his jacket got tangled on a signal pole. He wound up underneath the Q.”
Other workers recalled that the subway surfer was hanging on the side of the train before getting spun around “like a washing machine” by the signal pole.
