BROOKLYN — A man was hit by a train at the Seventh Avenue station in Prospect Heights Friday afternoon, disrupting B and Q service, according to the MTA.

The man was hit by a northbound B train after getting on the tracks at about 3:37 p.m., according to the FDNY and MTA. It was not immediately clear how he got down from the platform or the severity of his injuries, though an MTA spokeswoman said he was still alive after being struck. 

B and Q trains were running with delays in both directions by 4:27 p.m.
