NEW YORK (MYFOXNY) -

A subway train hit a man who was sitting on the platform at the 145th Street station on the No. 1 line Friday evening, police said.

The 50-year-old man's legs were dangling over the edge of the platform when a southbound train hit him, authorities said.

Medics rushed the man to St. Luke's Hospital in extremely critical condition, the FDNY said.
