An F train struck and killed a man between the Fourth Avenue–Ninth Street and Seventh Avenue F and G stations, backing up train traffic, FDNY officials said.
The Coney-Island-bound train hit the man at 9:15 am, and first responders pronounced him dead at the scene, fire officials said.
The Fire Department did not have information about the man’s age or identity as of early Monday afternoon.
F train traffic was cut off between Church Avenue and Jay Street–MetroTech for about an hour on Monday morning, as was G traffic between Church Avenue and Bedford–Nostrand. Service was back to normal by 1:30 pm.
Comedian Jenny Slate, star of the movie “Obvious Child,” wrote on Twitter that she got stuck on a G train for two hours — and that the ordeal made her feel brand new in the end.
“After getting stuck underground for two hours on the G train I’m very happy to be free,” she wrote. “Amen. Holy s---.”
