A train fatally struck a Metro-North employee early Monday morning in East Harlem, according to the MTA.

The worker was struck at Park Avenue and 106th St. by a Poughkeepsie-bound Hudson line train that left Grand Central Terminal at 12:47 a.m., NBC New York  reported. He was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The worker’s identity is being withheld until his family is notified, the MTA said.
