The first incident occurred at 9:28 p.m. on Tuesday when a male victim jumped in front of a Manhattan-bound M train arriving at the Marcy Avenue station in Brooklyn, the MTA and NYPD said.

The collision suspended J and M service for over two hours, according to the MTA.

Less than two hours later, a victim was struck by a southbound 6 train at Spring Street station in Soho just before 11 p.m., the MTA said. Though the male victim was alive when he was recovered, he was transported to Bellevue Hospital where he later died, police said. It is unclear what he was doing in the roadbed.

Transit officials said 6 train service at the Spring Street station was suspended for just over an hour.

The third incident happened Wednesday morning when a man was struck by a westbound 7 train at the Bryant Park station and survived.

Less than an hour later, regular 7 train service resumed, the MTA said.
