A man who was hit by a No. 7 train in Corona Thursday morning is in critical condition, the NYPD said.

He was lying across a track bed when a Manhattan-bound 7 train struck him near 103rd Street and Roosevelt Avenue at about 4 a.m., according to an NYPD spokeswoman.

The man was taken to Elmhurst Hospital, where officials said he remained in critical condition Thursday afternoon.

State Sen. Jose Peralta (D-East Elmhurst) called on the MTA to revise the proposals he has made in the past to improve security measures in the transit system, including installing sliding doors on subway platforms and more security cameras.
