Authorities said a man jumped to his death in front of a Brooklyn subway train, causing rush-hour service delays for about 90 minutes.

The Fire Department said two other people received medical treatment. They reportedly suffered from shock after witnessing the gruesome scene.

The unidentified man jumped in front of a northbound No. 5 train at Franklin Avenue and Eastern Parkway around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Service was suspended on the No. 4 and No. 5 lines in both directions between the Bowling Green and Atlantic Avenue stations.

According to the MTA, "subways, buses, and railroads provide 2.6 billion trips each year to New Yorkers — the equivalent of about one in every three users of mass transit in the United States and two-thirds of the nation's rail riders."
