Sixty passengers on a rush-hour Brooklyn subway train were evacuated this evening, due to a smoke condition on a platform.
A Transit Authority spokesman says 11 passengers suffered minor injuries and went to Brooklyn Hospital. Train service is also suspended on the B and D lines.
The smoke condition call came in 6:14 p.m. at a subway platform at the DeKalb Avenue station on the B line. It wasn’t immediately clear if a fire was on the platform or in the first subway car.
