An 18-year-old man was struck and killed by a Queens subway train Monday morning after fleeing a fight with another teen inside a station.
The pair were brawling on the platform inside the Elmhurst Ave station in Elmhurst at around 11 a.m. before the tragedy occurred, police said.
The 18-year-old — whose identity has not been released — ran onto the tracks and into a tunnel to try to escape the 19-year-old man when he reportedly slipped and fell on the tracks, according to cops.
He was then run over by a Jamaica-bound F train. When officers arrived at the scene, they found the teen lying on the tracks unconscious and unresponsive between the Elmhurst Ave. and the Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Ave. stations.
He was pronounced dead at the station.
The 19-year-old was taken to Elmhurst Hospital with minor injuries.
No charges had been filed by Monday night as police continued their investigation.
The train strike “severely disrupted” service along the F, M, E and R lines for most of the day as emergency teams and investigators responded, the MTA said.
The disruptions and delays continued into the evening rush hour commute, according to updates from the transit agency.
