During an argument Wednesday morning between two men, the NYPD said, one man pushed the other onto the tracks.

The FDNY had told Patch this morning that it responded to a call shortly before 7 a.m. of a "male under train," an FDNY spokesman told Patch. The NYPD, though, says the man was not hit by a train.

The man was taken to Lincoln Hospital in serious condition, both agencies said. The man who pushed him is still on the loose, and police are searching for him, the NYPD said.

After service was temporarily suspended on the line through much of the city, B trains are now skipping 170th St. in the Bronx. D trains delays are expected across the whole city.

Unrelated to the person hit in the Bronx, southbound 2 trains were running on the 5 line from 149th St.-Grand Concourse to Nevins St., and delays were expected on the 3 line because of a train with mechanical problems at Central Park North 110 St.
