The westbound NJ TRANSIT Main Line train struck the man just before the Kingsland Station shortly before 5:30 p.m. Aug. 4 in what responders said wasn't an accident.

The man was alert and conscious despite head trauma and severe injuries to his lower extremities.

He was taken to Hackensack University Medical Center.

The 500 or so passengers walked to the station from there.

The Main Line No. 1221 train left Hoboken at 5:13 p.m. and was due to arrive in Waldwick at 6:11 p.m., said NJ TRANSIT Senior Public Information Officer Kyalo Mulumba.

Transit police are investigating, Mulumba said.
