A man was killed after being run over by a train in Philadelphia… and he ended up on the tracks because he was fighting another man on the subway platform.
Two men were fighting in a subway station when one of them takes a punch and falls down onto the tracks just as a train arrives and runs over his body.
People who witnessed the tragedy started yelling and running over to hunt for his body under the train.
According to police, the man died in the event, and a person of interest was apprehended at the next stop.
The tragic altercation occurred Thursday evening at 34th Street Station in Philadelphia’s University City neighborhood… between the campuses of the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University.
According to police, the man’s death is being investigated as a homicide.
It’s already causing problems for commuters… rail service has been suspended in the area, forcing people to rely on buses to get about.
The reason for the men’s fight is still unknown. While there have been numerous violent occurrences in subways in recent years, this one in Philadelphia may be the most heinous.
