A man was struck by a train and killed after falling onto the tracks during a fight in a New York City subway station on Monday. The other man has been taken into custody and on Tuesday was charged with manslaughter.
The two men, identified as Heriberto Quintana, 48, and Carlos Garcia, 50, got into a fight shortly before 5 p.m. ET on Monday at Roosevelt Avenue-74th Street station in Jackson Heights, a neighborhood in Queens, police said. According to CBS New York, Quintana bumped into Garcia, causing Garcia's phone to fall onto the tracks. An argument ensued over who should retrieve it, CBS New York reports.
The argument became physical and, during the course of the fight, Quintana fell onto the tracks as an F train was approaching the station, police said. Quintana was struck by the train, causing "severe trauma to the body," police said. Quintana was taken to Elmhurst Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
