POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. - A man who was struck in the head by a train this weekend was also hit in the head by a New York City subway car three years ago, officials said Monday.
Parker T. Hall Houghtaling, of Stanfordville, 23, was hit in the head Nov. 18 by a Metro-North train as it pulled into the Poughkeepsie station. He was listed in stable condition Monday.
In 2002, Houghtaling was waiting at a subway station in Manhattan when he stuck his head out and was hit by a subway car. He was hospitalized with a shoulder injury, nose fractures and bruises, according to the Metropolitan Transit Authority.
It was unclear Monday what led to either incident.
MTA police are continuing an investigation, Metro-North spokeswoman Marjorie Anders said.
