A train struck and killed a
man at the Sheepshead Bay
subway station on Tuesday,
according to police.
The operator of a northbound
Q train threw on
the emergency breaks after
spotting a man on the tracks
near Sheepshead Bay Road
and E. 15th Street shortly
after 8 p.m., but was unable
to slow the train in time and
slammed into the victim,
cops said.
Firefi ghters and paramedics
rushed to the scene and
pronounced the man dead
at 8:25 p.m., according to authorities.
Users on the social
crime-reporting app Citizen
claimed the victim
fell onto the tracks, but a
spokeswoman for the Police
Department had no information
regarding how he
ended up in harms way, saying
only that investigators
do not suspect criminality.

Coney Island got schwifty!
A giant truck made to resemble
Rick Sanchez from the
hit television show “Rick and
Morty” made its inaugural
journey to the People’s Playground
on Sunday, selling tshirts
and trinkets from the
Adult Swim sci-fi series.
The 25-foot-long Rickmobile,
which depicts the supergenius,
dimension-hopping,
alcoholic crouching on the
truck bed, was stationed in
Luna Park’s Scream Zone
between W. 12th Street and
Stillwell Avenues from 1 pm
to 4 pm, when it offered fans
the chance to buy exclusive Tshirts,
bottle openers, kites,
hats, and more.
The event also featured activities,
like Rick and Mortyrelated
trivia and dance-offs.
And fans in costume were offered
special prizes, according
to a spokesman.
“We strongly encourage
fans to dress up,” Randall
Byers said.
The visit was part of the
Rickmobile’s three-month
tour, making stops in more
than 40 cities nationwide.
While the promo truck visited
Kings County once before
in 2017 when it pulled
up to a bar in Williamsburg,
Sunday’s event marked the
vehicle’s first trip to the
People’s Playground.
