A man was struck and killed by a Brooklyn No. 3 train, causing massive delays during Friday’s rush hour, police and MTA officials said.

The 38-year-old victim leaped in front of the southbound train as it entered the Sutter Ave.-Rutland Rd. station near E. 98th St. in Brownsville about 7:45 a.m., cops said.

The man died at the scene, causing the MTA to limit No. 3 and No. 4 train service between the Crown Heights-Utica Ave. and New Lots Ave. stations.

Commuters were urged to take buses to major Brooklyn transit hubs as the NYPD continues its investigation.
