A man committed suicide by jumping in front of an oncoming N Train Tuesday afternoon.

The victim, William Olbrys, 31, leaped onto the elevated tracks at the Broadway stop in Astoria as a southbound N train came into the station at about 4:30 pm. Witnesses saw his body parts strewn across the tracks and the street below (in the vicinity of 31st Street and Broadway).

The police did not find a suicide note but did find his wallet.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
