Add The New York Post on Google A young man and woman were caught on chilling video calmly sitting on subway tracks in Downtown Manhattan early Sunday before being fatally struck, law-enforcement sources said.
The unidentified pair, both 24, were on the rails near the Spring Street station shortly before 3:15 a.m. when a southbound No. 4 train slammed into them, killing both, according to sources and footage posted by The Daily Source.
There is no indication that man and woman had been pushed or fell onto the tracks, leading some investigators to speculate that the two may have been intoxicated, although there is no evidence of that at least yet, sources said.
The young woman and man are seen on the tracks as a subway barrels towards them. Both died at the scene after they were struck. View this post on Instagram The clip shows the tragic pair facing the train as it bears down on them.
NYPD cops are later seen at the scene, with one of the bodies covered on the platform at the station, which appears to have been shut down after the incident.
