A flood of turnstile jumpers skipped the fare at a Manhattan subway station Friday — despite newly installed spikes the MTA apparently hopes will curb the rampant problem. A deluge of fare-evaders — a total of 10 in under three hours — were spotted by The Post slipping past the sharp metal barriers at the 59th Street/Lexington Avenue station. At least five of those scofflaws vaulted the turnstiles over the course of just one hour. And more were seen pulling the fast-one on social media. It came despite off-and-on police presence at the station.
