A man fatally jumped in front of a train in lower Manhattan Wednesday afternoon, police said.

The man, who was not immediately identified, jumped from a platform at the 2 and 3 train station on Wall and Williams streets at about 12:30 p.m., officials said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

It wasn’t immediately clear which train hit him.

There were service changes on 2 and 3 trains for about an hour after the incident, but regular service was resuming at about 1:50 p.m., the MTA said.
