A man was seriously injured when a train struck his face as he was standing near the edge of the platform at a Manhattan subway station, officials said.
The man was at the 96th St. station near Broadway when he was struck as an oncoming 1 train was pulling into the station around 1:50 p.m.
After glancing the man’s face, the train operator continued on to the next station, seemingly unaware that anyone had been struck.
The man was conscious when EMTs took him to St. Luke’s Hospital, officials said. He was listed in serious condition but is expected to survive.
