==============
Update: 7:45 am
The MTA has not updated their website yet but I just heard that service is suspended in both directions between Woodlawn & 149th Street-Grand Concourse due to a passenger injury at the 170th Street station.
==============
Update: 7:59 am
Service might be suspended for awhile as EMS is on the scene at the 170th Street station. The “passenger injury” is actually a nice way of saying there was a “12-9” or that there is a person under the train which means someone committed suicide by jumping in front of & getting run over by a train. Thanks to Allan from Subchat for pointing out the use of “passenger injury”. I am used to it being referred to as a “12-9” over the air, not a “passenger injury”.
==============
Update: 8:04 am
Also, due to someone requiring medical assistance at the Canal Street Station, Astoria-bound 
trains and 57th Street-bound
