Onlookers screamed as just moments later, a SEPTA train on the Market-Frankford Line arrived at the platform and killed the man – who is from Philidelphia.

The death happened on Thursday night just blocks away from the University of Pennsylvania, according to officials.

Medics pronounced the man dead at the scene.

“Oh my god, I feel so f**king terrible,” one woman shouts on video before police are seen frantically clearing out the scene.

Police confirmed they were reviewing the video as part of their investigation.

The victim has yet to be identified but a user on X claims that both of the two men involved are on the radar of local police.

Retired Sgt. Mark Fusetti said on X: “These two men are known to Septa police.

“They are homeless and live in the subways. They’re called, by Septa, destination-less riders.”

“They take the EL & Subway all day and night. They use the trains as toilets and beds. This in another crime that could’ve been prevented if Septa didn’t allow them to live in their trains.”

Philadelphia Police Inspector Kpana Massaquoi told NBC10: “We don’t know exactly what took place prior to that to initiate this, but it’s being investigated at this point.”

A person of interest was later taken into custody at 40th Street Station, Massaquoi said.

He added that the department does not currently have any witnesses despite the video showing multiple people around when the man was hit.

Police are asking any witnesses to come forward.

The killing is being investigated as a homicide, according to ABC News Philadelphia.

SEPTA suspended service on the Market-Frankford Line between 30th and 40th Street Stations for about two hours.

Last year a man died after he was hit by a tube during a police chase.

Officers were pursuing a car when it smashed into another vehicle.

The occupants then leapt out and fled on foot.

A man was then found fatally injured on the nearby train tracks.
