FOX 5 in New York City reported that service was suspended between South Ferry and 137 Street-City College in both directions.

Trains sharing tracks with the 4 and 5 trains were rerouted, and New York City Transit recommended taking A/B/C/D/R/W trains or local buses until service resumes.

The MTA did not immediately respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital on the matter.
