Two people were struck by trains within hours of one another between Friday night and early Saturday morning, police and fire officials say.

A man suffered trauma to his right arm after he was struck by a Brooklyn-bound B train near Coney Island Avenue and Brighton Beach Avenue around 11:00 p.m. Friday, police said. He was not a victim of a crime.

Hours later, fire officials said a second man jumped in front of a southbound 1 train near 231st Street and Broadway in Bronx around 4:50 a.m. Paramedics pronounced him dead on arrival.

Both victims were unauthorized to be on the subway tracks, police officials said.
