A straphanger was struck and killed by a Manhattan subway train after he fell between cars Friday night, police said.

The southbound C train had just left the 14th St. station when the man slipped and tumbled onto the tracks at 8:20 p.m., cops said.

The train jolted to a halt, leaving passengers stranded for more than two hours as medics rushed to save the man. He died at the scene.

“The train made a mechanical noise when the brakes went on. I thought we hit something metallic or we were derailed,” passenger J.W. Miller, 56, told the Daily News.
