NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- Subway service on the L train was severely disrupted after a person was struck by a train in Manhattan Tuesday night.

For a time, there was extremely limited L service running between Bedford Avenue and Eighth Avenue, with most Eighth Avenue-bound L trains ending at Bedford or Myrtle avenues, according to the MTA.

L trains were still running with delays in both directions late Tuesday evening.

MTA officials say emergency teams responded to someone who was struck by a train at 14 St-Union Sq.

The MTA recommended the following travel alternatives while trains were disrupted:

In Manhattan:

Transfer between L and A/C trains at 8 Av/14 St.

Transfer between L and J trains at Broadway Junction.

Transfer between L and M trains at 14 St/6 Av.

Take an M14A-SBS or M14D-SBS bus making nearby stops.

In Brooklyn:

Transfer between L and A/C trains at Broadway Junction.

Transfer between L and M trains at Myrtle-Wyckoff Avs.

At Lorimer St, consider taking a G train to connect with the 7/A or C train.

Take a B60 bus making nearby stops.
