A Metro-North rider was critically hurt after he opened an emergency-exit door and jumped out of a moving train in Westchester County, authorities said.
A Manhattan man suffered critical injuries when he jumped from a moving Metro-North Railroad express train in Westchester County Friday afternoon, authorities said.
The 35-year-old apparently used an emergency-exit handle to open a door as the train was passing through the Harrison Station on the New Haven line at about 1:15 p.m., Metro-North spokeswoman Marjorie Anders said.
