Mass NYC Subway Delays Strike Transit System Again

NEW YORK, NY — New York City subway commuters once again experienced a morning of headaches and delays on their way to work Monday morning as the system saw issues on as many as a dozen lines throughout the first part of the day.

Signal problems were the main culprit, though not all of the state-run MTA's issues were of its own doing. A man jumped in front of a 6 train in the Bronx, police said, adding to the rash of subway delays

The man jumped in front of a the downtown 6 train some time around 7:30 a.m., an NYPD spokesman told Patch. He only injured a foot, though, the spokesman said, and is expected to survive. He was taken to an area hospital, police said.

The incident caused delays for downtown 6 trains, which were running local between Pelham Bay Park and Hunts Point Avenue in both directions. Express 6 service was suspended, and travelers on that line were told to allow for additional travel time.

By 8:30 a.m., the scene was apparently cleared and 6 and 6 express trains were running with delays.

Elsewhere throughout the system, because of signal problems at both West Fourth Street-Washington Square and Church Avenue, some Manhattan-bound F trains were running on the A line from Jay Street-MetroTech to West Fourth.

Manhattan-bound F and G trains and Forest Hills-bound M trains were running with delays.

Five trains were running with delays because of signal problems at Eastchester-Dyre Avenue.

Northbound 2 and 3 trains were running with delays because of signal problems at Wall Street. Manhattan-bound 7 trains were running with delays because of signal problems at Mets-Willets Point.

And A and C trains were running with delays following an incident at High Street.
