A man was killed after his shirt that was stuck in a subway escalator in the Bronx, N.Y., choked him to death early Sunday morning, authorities said.
Police responded to the Intervale Station on the No. 2 and 5 lines in Longwood at about 3:45 a.m. after a report of a man acting erratically, authorities said.
When they arrived, they found the 48-year-old man unconscious on top of the escalator with part of his shirt caught in the machine and the other part choking him, cops said.
