B/Q Changes After Two People Struck By Train At Atlantic Ave

Because of police activity at Atlantic Avenue/Barclays Center, the B train is currently suspended in both directions between Prospect Park and 145th Street. Northbound Q trains are running on the N line between Coney Island and DeKalb, and southbound Q trains are bypassing Atlantic Ave.

Reports on Twitter say a person was hit by a train at the station.

UPDATE 1:25pm: A spokesman for the FDNY tells us that they got the call just before 12:30pm, and say that two people were involved in the incident. One person was pronounced dead at the scene, and another was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. They were unable to identify the victims or provide additional information just yet.

UPDATE 2:10pm: The MTA reports that the B and Q have resumed with residual delays.

UPDATE 6pm: The Daily News reports it was a 60-year-old woman who died jumped in front of the train, adding that it’s unclear how the person who was injured was involved.

We will continue to update this post as as we learn more.
