- Share via
Subway service was back to normal in New York City, one day after a section of steel reinforcing rod encased in concrete fell from the ceiling of a tunnel, puncturing a train car approaching a station. Three passengers were injured.
The steel rod and concrete hit the front car of a No. 5 train Friday as the train was approaching a station near Battery Park in lower Manhattan, a Transit Authority spokesman said.
The three passengers’ injuries were not life-threatening, the spokesman said. The most seriously injured had a broken vertebra.
The Metropolitan Transit Authority was investigating.
