QUEENS — A man died when he jumped in front of a train in the Forest Hills station Wednesday morning, an NYPD spokesman said.

The man, whose name and age weren't immediately released, leaped in front of an F train in the station near 71st Avenue about 10:30 a.m., according to police and an FDNY spokesman.

He was pronounced dead, police said.

Service was disrupted in the station, but resumed with delays an hour later, according to the MTA.
