A man was struck and killed by a Metro train at the King Street station in Alexandria during Friday’s evening rush, the latest suicide in the transit system. The man jumped from the platform and was hit by a Yellow Line train that was traveling toward Mount Vernon Square at about 5:40 p.m., Metro spokesman Dan Stessel said. Stessel said Saturday the man was 38 years old and from Alexandria.
“All indications are that he intentionally placed himself in the path of the train,” based on information from witnesses, Stessel said.
