A suspicious item that was found in the backpack of a man who jumped in front of a train in Queens Friday morning was deemed safe, police said.
The unidentified man was at the A train 80th Street station on Liberty Avenue in Ozone Park at about 6:45 a.m., when he jumped and was hit by the train, cops said.
The man was taken to an area hospital in critical condition, police said. First responders then found what they thought was a suspicious item in the man’s backpack, but it was later cleared.
The cylindrical object was a personal item, possibly a thermos, an NYPD spokesman said.
Regular A train service was resuming at about 9 a.m. after a partial suspension during the NYPD investigation, the MTA said. Delays were expected.
