Subway service suspended on 3 line after 2 people found dead on tracks in Brownsville, Brooklyn

BROWNSVILLE, Brooklyn (WABC) — Subway service is suspended in both directions on the 3 line after two people were found dead on the tracks in Brownsville, Brooklyn.

The bodies were found near the Sutter Ave-Rutland Road station at around 7:15 a.m. Wednesday.

Preliminarily they appear to be adult men but the remains are in very bad condition.

It is likely these people were struck by another train, not the train that is currently stopped, which is a northbound 3 train.

It appears someone on that train spotted the bodies and stopped the train.

As a result, there are no 3 trains running between New Lots Avenue and Crown Hts-Utica Avenue in both directions while NYPD conducts their investigation at Sutter Ave-Rutland Road.

For service between New Lots Avenue and Crown Heights-Utica Avenue, use B14 or B15 buses making nearby station stops.

The last stop on some southbound 3 trains will be Rector Street on the 1 line.

4 trains are making local stops between Crown Heights-Utica Avenue and Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center in both directions.
