8:28 a.m. NYC Transit has an alert about service along the F line, due to a police investigation: "Jamaica-bound F trains are running on the D line between the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue Station and the Broadway-Lafayette Station. Select Inwood-bound A trains are running on the F line between the Jay Street-Borough Hall Station and the West 4th Street-Washington Square Station. There is no G train service between the Bedford Avenue-Nostrand Avenue Station and the Church Avenue Station in both directions. Please expect delays in A, F and G train service." We are hearing that someone was struck by a train at 7th Avenue.
Update, 9:06 a.m.: The MTA is now saying, "Following an earlier incident A, F and G train service had resumed with residual delays." Still, a reader snapped this shot outside the Bergen Street station:
Update, 2:23 p.m.: While 1010WINS is reporting that two people were struck (one fatally) by an F-train, NYC Transit spokesman Charles Seaton tells us that a person was struck and killed by a Queens-bound G train. The train's operator was also taken to the hospital for trauma.
