Man, woman hit, killed by subways in unrelated incidents

A 64-year-old man was fatally struck by a subway train Saturday morning after he foolishly jumped onto the tracks trying to retrieve a chain, officials said. The victim, whose name was not immediately released, was on the tracks trying to retrieve the jewelry when a C train plowed into the 50th St. station on Eighth Ave. and hit him about 11:05 a.m., officials said.
