A man died Wednesday morning after he was hit by a Red Line Metro train in what authorities said appears to have been a suicide.

The six-car train, which was heading toward the District from the Shady Grove stop in Rockville, hit the man along the station’s outdoor platform at about 9:50 a.m., delaying service there for about two hours.
