A Brooklyn straphanger was hospitalized Saturday after he fell in between two G train subway cars, officials said.

The unidentified straphanger’s girlfriend told police the victim was walking from one car to the next as the train rumbled to the 15th St.–Prospect Park station when he tumbled onto the filthy track bed at about 9:28 p.m. and was possibly clipped by the train as it passed him.

Officials did not disclose the extent of his injuries, but sources say they did not appear to be life threatening.

The injured straphanger and his girlfriend were taken to Lutheran Medical Center and New York Methodist Hospital for treatment, officials said.

How did he do this on an R68?

Lion - what he meant was - the end doors on 75 foot cars are locked. How could someone go (or try to go)from car to car in that instance?

All you need is a flathead screwdriver (or any other piece of metal longer than 3 inches) and you can easily get the door to open up. In the 90s this was commonly done by the vendors selling things car to car. Of course, you need to know to use the switch to get back in... trying to use the screwdriver method from the outside would probably lead to incidents like this.

This wouldn't have happened if the G had been cut back to Smith/9th ...

The answer seems to be that the media was wrong (surprise, surprise!) and this actually took place on the 2000 F out of 179th.

Correct.

He was (illegally) crossing in between cars on an F between 15th St. and Ft. Hamilton Pky. He feel in between cars to the roadbed. The train did not go into emergency because no body parts struck a trip cock. His g/f informed the c/r what happened at Ft. Ham. station. The following train, a G, was informed of the situation and found the man on the roadbed in between stations.
