Noxious Fumes Halt L Train Service

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- It was a scary scene for strap-hangers on the L train this Friday morning.

An unknown substance may have been sprayed on the train at the station at Lorimer Street at Metropolitan Avenue in Brooklyn just before 9 a.m.

While the Hazmat teams checked it out the scene, trains were evacuated and service was shut down in both directions from Broadway Junction in Brooklyn to 8th Avenue in Manhattan.

Some passengers reported nausea and dizziness when a train was allowed through to 14th street and 1st Avenue.

Authorities do not know yet who is responsible.

The L trains started moving again at about 10:15 a.m.
