SOHO — A man was struck and killed after jumping in front of an uptown F train at the Broadway-Lafayette subway station Thursday afternoon, officials said.

The man, who had no identification on him, died about 12:25 p.m. on the uptown side of the station, at Broadway and Houston Street, according the NYPD and MTA officials.

He was pronounced dead at the scene, officials said. No criminality is suspected.

Two other people were treated for minor injuries, an FDNY spokesman said. It was not immediately clear if they were taken to a hospital.

Subway service was briefly disrupted, but resumed regular service with delays about 2 p.m.
