The girl was found unconscious and unresponsive at the scene by first responders and was pronounced dead, police said.

Police sources said she was on a catwalk inside the tunnel before being hit.

Law enforcement officials said other teens were seen running from the scene after the incident.

Police said two other people were struck and killed by trains in separate incidents inside subway stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn on Tuesday. No criminality was suspected in either incident.

The three deaths occurred a day after a commuter was struck and killed by a subway train in Harlem on Monday night. The victim was pushed away in an unprovoked attack by an emotionally disturbed man with a criminal history.
