MEXICO CITY, June 11 (Xinhua) -- A Mexican man died on Sunday after he stuck his head out of the window of a moving subway in Mexico City and hit a metallic barrier on the platform as the train was pulling into the station, local media reported.
The man, believed to be around 30 years old, hit his head against a portable barrier that divides the platform waiting area into two sections: one reserved for women and children, and the other for the general public.
"Red Cross personnel arrived to attend to the man, who died almost instantly due to the impact," the daily Excelsior said.
The incident, which occurred around 9 a.m. local time, briefly disrupted subway transit on Line 1 as officials inspected the scene, removed the body and evacuated the train.
