A momentary power surge disrupted half of the New York City subway system for several hours and stranded hundreds of passengers, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Monday.

The unprecedented breakdown affected more than 80 trains on the subway system’s numbered lines, plus the L train, from shortly after 9 p.m. Sunday to about 1:30 a.m. Monday, Hochul told reporters.
