The mangled bodies of two apparently homeless men were discovered on Brooklyn train tracks Wednesday morning, cops said.
The bodies were spotted on the tracks by a motorman as a Manhattan-bound 3 train was pulling into the Sutter Avenue-Rutland Road station in Brownsville just before 7 a.m., police said.
Both men, who are believed to be homeless, were pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said.
