Woman jumps in front of PATH train, survives

NEWARK — PATH trains between New Jersey and New York are suspended after a woman jumped in front of a train at the Newport Station in Jersey City.

The incident occurred around noon Friday.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says the woman, who is believed to be in her 20s, was trapped underneath the train but was alive and alert. Emergency service personnel and Port Authority police were able to extricate her and she was taken to Jersey City Medical Center.

Trains between Hoboken and the World Trade Center and between Journal Square and 33rd Street in Manhattan have been suspended. A Port Authority spokesman says service is expected to resume within an hour or so.
