A man was killed by a Q train at the Times Square-42nd St. station late Friday night.<\/p>\n

According to a witness, the man was squatting near the edge of the platform for the uptown Q express \u2014 then suddenly threw himself in front of an oncoming train<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It happened at 10:28 p.m., according to police.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe squatted. I saw him jump,\u201d Chaz Rodriguez, 35, a bartender from Queens, told a Daily News reporter who happened to have been on that subway.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe went in front of the train,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cHe was cut in half. I was standing right there. Nobody pushed him<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The man had been squatting midway down the platform when he plunged in front of the train, which came to a stop after about half of its cars had passed over him.<\/p>\n

From what could be seen, he was well dressed, sporting a gold-link bracelet on his wrist and a dress shirt.<\/p>\n

A police spokesperson confirmed that the man, as yet unidentified, jumped in front of the subway and was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

The Q train<\/a> was held in the station as police and firefighters worked to remove the man\u2019s body from underneath it.<\/p>\n
