Thirty-four people have suffered non-life-threatening-injuries after a New York City subway train derailed in Harlem, frightening passengers and resulting in systemwide delays, officials said.
The chairman of New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority said transit officials are investigating why the train’s emergency brakes went on before the derailment approaching the station at 125th Street and St Nicholas Avenue.
Joe Lhota said there were no initial indications of equipment or track failure before two cars derailed and scraped a wall on Tuesday morning.
Service on the A, B, C and D lines has been suspended until the investigation is completed.
