A distraught man who dangled from a Brooklyn elevated train platform for seven hours Wednesday — forcing a local hospital to reroute ambulances amid the coronavirus pandemic — was finally brought down safely and sent for psychiatric evaluation.

The spectacle, which brought traffic on Flushing Avenue and Broadway to a standstill and shut down the M and J lines outside Woodhull Hospital, began at 10 a.m. and ended about 5 p.m.

Cops spent more than six hours trying to talk down the unidentified man.

The man, wearing light-colored pants and a blue hoodie, could be seen sitting atop the platform and at times pacing back and forth on the roof of the station staircase.

One video shows cops pushing pedestrians away from the scene and closing off the area.

Hundreds of gawkers packed the scene for most of the day as police officers and EMTs remained on the scene en masse. Police placed a large inflatable mattress on the sidewalk beneath the man as they negotiated with the man.

The scene is across the street from Woodhull, a major coronavirus treatment center during the pandemic, and ambulances had to be rerouted around the scene, witnesses said.

Officials at Woodhull Hospital did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
