A New York City subway train derailed in upper Manhattan on Tuesday, and 34 people suffered minor injuries, New York City Fire Department Commissioner Daniel Nigro said.
All passengers on the train were evacuated and authorities were investigating the incident in Manhattan’s Harlem section, officials said.
Witnesses on the train posted photos on social media that showed darkened, smoky carriages and damage to the floor and a door of the train.
“One lady began having a panic attack, and most people had to use their shirts to not breathe in the smoke (from the accident). Some people are crying,” one passenger, Benjamin Williams, wrote on Twitter before being evacuated.
