Two other people were hurt, but they refused medical attention, the FDNY said.

Tape blocked off an entrance to the subway station following the deadly strike, Citizen App video shows.

The incident was impacting service along the line in Manhattan, the MTA said.

Just last week, two French graffiti artists were struck and killed by a train in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Their bodies were found near the tracks.

An NYPD investigation indicated the two men had been hit in the early hours of Wednesday morning or late Tuesday night.
