2 hours, 43 minutes ago <!-- end storyhdr --> NEW YORK - Two subway cars derailed Sunday in Manhattan, forcing more than 400 passengers to leave the tunnel on a second train, officials said.
The cars on a train heading from Queens to Brooklyn via Manhattan jumped the tracks around 4:20 p.m. near Central Park, said NYC Transit spokesman Charles Seaton.
The 449 passengers were removed from the tunnel on a "rescue train," officials said. One person suffered from anxiety and another person reported a minor injury, but neither required medical treatment, Seaton said.
