New York Daily News: MANHATTAN, NY – A Manhattan subway train derailed Sunday morning after a saboteur clamped wooden planks onto the roadbed, police sources said.

The uptown A train was entering the 14th St/Eighth Avenue station in the West Village at 8:17am when it ran into the debris, officials said. One of the subway cars derailed, with one wheel leaving the tracks, and slammed into several stanchions separating track beds.

Commuters saw the man who clamped the planks laughing at his accomplishment, sources said. Good Samaritans held him at the station until cops took him into custody, the sources said. No charges were immediately filed as cops questioned the suspect.

The train ended up stuck about 100 feet into the Eighth Avenue tunnel. First responders helped evacuate about 30 people from the train.

Three passengers suffered minor injuries. One refused medical attention while two were being evaluated at the scene by medics.

The track, including the third rail, were badly damaged by the derailment, knocking out power to all four tracks in the station.

An uptown train got stuck in the tunnel near 34th St due to the loss of power. Transit workers were working to evacuate passengers on that train.

A train service was suspended in both directions south of 14th St., and uptown service was knocked out from ‌Canal St‌ to ‌59th St-Columbus Circle.

All uptown A, C, D, E and F trains are being rerouted, causing extensive delays in Manhattan.
