Three people were struck by trains within hours of one another between Friday night and early Saturday morning, police and fire officials say.

A man suffered trauma to his right arm after he was struck by a Brooklyn-bound B train near Coney Island Avenue and Brighton Beach Avenue around 11 p.m. Friday, police said.

A second man was struck and killed by a train near 155th Street and Frederick Douglass Boulevard in Upper Manhattan around 11 p.m. Friday, police said. 

Authorities said neither the Brooklyn nor the Manhattan deaths were crime-related.

Hours later, fire officials said a third man jumped in front of a southbound 1 train near 231st Street and Broadway in the Bronx around 4:50 a.m. Paramedics pronounced him dead on arrival.

All three victims were unauthorized to be on the subway tracks, police officials said.
