L train service between Brooklyn and Manhattan was temporarily suspended after a person jumped onto the tracks at Williamsburg’s Bedford Ave. station this morning.
The New York City Subway tweeted at 11:45 a.m. that there was no L train service between Myrtle-Wyckoff and 1 Av because of an injured passenger at the station.
Witnesses saw a person jump onto the tracks of the Manhattan-bound side at around 11:30 a.m., a spokesperson for the NYPD said. The spokesperson confirmed that the person was stuck under the train.
By 12:11 P.M., the MTA said L trains are bypassing the Bedford Avenue station in both directions due to NYPD activity at the station.
