Three people leaped in front of subway trains in separate incidents in the Upper West Side, Queens and the Bronx Friday morning, leaving one dead, officials said.

A 20-year-old man jumped in front of a Manhattan-bound L train as it pulled into the Myrtle-Wyckoff station in Ridgewood, Queens, about 8:50 a.m., officials said.

He was rushed to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, where he died about a half-hour later.

Later in the morning, a man in his 40s leaped in front of a downtown 4 train at the Fordham Road station in the Bronx, officials said.

He was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital in critical condition after being struck about 10:35 a.m. but was expected to survive, officials said.

Just over a half-hour later, a woman in her 40s jumped in front of a downtown 3 train at the 72nd St. station in Manhattan.

She was taken to Mount Sinai St. Luke's Hospital in serious but stable condition, officials said.
