The man slipped into the space between a train and the platform at Jamaica Station just after 3 p.m. yesterday.
Officials tell Newsday the man was bleeding heavily and rushed to the hospital with leg injuries.
The railroad began narrowing platform gaps following the death of a teen in 2007 and several other gap-related injuries.
