According to an official MTA statement, trains were not running on the Lexington Ave. line between Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall and E. 86th St. station as police and emergency services responded to a report that a person had been struck by a train.

However, sources told The News that police are currently searching for human remains along the trail and that it is unclear how and when they ended up there.

At around 9:30 a.m., police received a 911 call reporting an unconscious person on the tracks at the 28th Street station, law enforcement sources told The News.

Emergency services pronounced the body, which was found on the tracks of the northbound expressway, dead at the scene.

Police said the identity of the body had not yet been determined on Friday morning and neither the sex of the deceased nor the cause of death could be determined.

Northbound trains on the 5 Line were rerouted via the 2 Line from Nevins St. in Brooklyn across Manhattan’s West Side to 149th St.-Grand Concourse in the Bronx.
