16-Year-Old Boy Jumps in Front of Train at 42nd Street

Extensive subway delays were reported throughout the morning as authorities investigated

A 16-year-old boy jumped to his death in front of an A train at the 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal subway station Tuesday, and extensive delays were reported throughout the morning commute as authorities investigated.

Southbound A, C and E trains were bypassing the stop entirely for a time; service later resumed, but the MTA cautioned of extensive delays.

Some trains were rerouted along the F line, causing delays in service on the orange line as well.
