WILLIAMSBURG TO LOWER MANHATTAN — THE J AND M SUBWAY LINES WERE SUSPENDED during part of the morning rush hour after a person was reported struck by a train Friday morning around 7 a.m., according to a Notify NYC Alert transmitted at 7:36 a.m. The NYPD is investigating an incident in which a train struck the person at the Delancey St-Essex St. station in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Service on the J line was halted between Marcy Av  in Brooklyn and Broad St., and on the M train between Myrtle Ave. and Lafayette St. As of 9:53 a.m. on Friday, the MTA website showed that M trains were running with delays in both directions after emergency teams assisted a person who was struck by a train at Delancey St-Essex St. This is the last stop in Manhattan before Marcy Ave. on the Brooklyn side of the Williamsburg Bridge.
