A mechanical issue disrupted service and caused two "loud noises" passengers reported hearing as they rode the 6 train Wednesday morning, the MTA said.
The agency said it was investigating after riders reported hearing two "explosion sounds" as their train left 59th Street-Lexington Avenue Station. In a tweet not long after, the MTA said the incident was caused by a "mechanical issue."
The issue was related to the train's brakes, the NYPD said.
