A dog was killed and his owner injured when a Long Island Rail Road train struck them east of the Woodside station Friday morning.
The man was walking his pet without a leash along the tracks around 10 a.m. when a westbound train originating from Great Neck hit the animal and grazed the owner’s hand, said an MTA spokesperson. He initially refused medical treatment, but was later taken to Elmhurst Hospital and treated and released.
Trains were delayed for about 45 minutes on the Port Washington Branch.
The owner was issued a summons for trespassing, said the spokesperson.
