R Trains From City Hall To Jay St Stopped For NYPD Investigation

BROOKLYN, NY — R train service from Downtown Brooklyn to Manhattan was cut off during the Friday morning commute as the NYPD investigates a suspicious package at the Jay St-MetroTech Center stop of the line, the MTA said.

The line was skipping stops from Jay St-MetroTech to City Hall in both directions because of the investigation, a spokeswoman for the MTA said. R trains between Canal St. and DeKalb Ave. were stopping along the Q line instead, according to the agency.

The service was cut off at about 8:50 a.m. as police investigated the suspicious package found in the station, the MTA said.

Q trains are also expected to be delayed because of the service change.
