A 48-year-old Indian-origin man has been killed after he allegedly jumped in front of a train at a railway station in New York's Hartsdale town.
The victim identified as Rakesh Bali, a Scarsdale resident, died from blunt force injuries after jumping in front of the train at the Hartsdale Metro-North station, the Westchester County Medical Examiner's office said.
