A 57-year-old man was killed after a shopping bag became trapped in the doors of a New York City subway train, dragging him onto the tracks as the train pulled away from a Brooklyn station, police said.

Police said Yaw Boahene, of Brooklyn, was exiting the train around 6 p.m. Monday when his bag got caught in the closing doors. He was then pulled onto the tracks and run over as the train departed the station.
