A man jumped in front of an E train this morning, according to reports.

The man, who survived, joined a sad string of people jumping in front of trains recently.

According to the Daily News, he was the eighth person injured or killed by a train since Wednesday.

He reportedly jumped in front of a train at the Northern Boulevard Station in Queens around 5:30 a.m.

The train was headed toward Manhattan.

The man is in serious condition.

Last month, the City Council called an emergency hearing to respond to a number of train-station injuries.
