BROWNSVILLE, Brooklyn -- Subway service was disrupted in both directions on the 3 line Wednesday after two people were found dead on the tracks in Brownsville, Brooklyn.Preliminarily, they appear to be adult men but the remains are in very bad condition.
Law enforcement says the victims could be two graffiti artists from France, as the tunnel is a known graffiti location.It is likely these people were struck by another train, not the train that stopped, which was a northbound 3 train.As a result, there was extremely limited 3 train service between New Lots Avenue and Crown Heights-Utica Avenue while NYPD conducted an investigation at Sutter Avenue and Rutland Road.
Service alerts were resolved by Wednesday afternoon, though more information has not been released about the victims.
