Woman Falls on Tracks at Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center, Helped Up By Good Samaritans

Victim was taken to Brooklyn Hospital Center in unknown condition.

A woman fell onto the subway tracks at the Atlantic-Barclays Center subway station Monday morning, and was pulled back onto the platform by other riders, an MTA spokesman said.

The incident happened on the Manhattan-bound platform of the N/R line at 8:25 a.m., the spokesman said.

The FDNY sent an ambulance to the transit hub at the intersection of Flatbush and Atlantic avenues at 8:31 a.m, and took her to Brooklyn Hospital Center, an FDNY spokeswoman said. The spokewoman didn't know the woman's condition when she was taken from the scene.
