A man died after being struck by the 7 train in Long Island City during the Wednesday morning rush hour.

According to police, the incident occurred around 5:33 a.m. on July 2 at the Court Square station.

Officers from Transit District 20 and the 108th Precinct responded to a 911 call and arrived to find a man in his mid-30s unconscious and unresponsive on the tracks.

MTA personnel shut off power to the rails to allow emergency crews to begin rescue efforts. EMS transported the man, who suffered severe internal injuries, to NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

It remains unclear how the man ended up on the tracks. Police said he was hit by a Manhattan-bound train.

No criminality is suspected, and no arrests have been made. The victim’s identity has not yet been released, pending family notification.

The investigation is ongoing.

Ridgewood mother and daughter arrested for attacking woman over parking spot: NYPD

A Ridgewood mother and daughter were arrested Monday after they ambushed a young Black woman who tried to park her car in a spot in front of their apartment building that they frequently cordon off with garbage cans and traffic cones.

A family friend was standing at the northeast corner of Onderdonk Avenue and Putnam Avenue at around 7:30 p.m. when the 21-year-old Jada McPherson tried to park her car in the spot. The man placed a garbage can in her way. She drove off and circled the block multiple times. She tried to pull into the same spot one more time, but the man tried to stop her again. McPherson got out of her car to confront him, and an argument ensued.
