Fire and transit officials say 6 train service in the Bronx is temporarily suspended in both directions north of Hunts Point Avenue because of a minor derailment involving one axle on a train. 

They say passengers were evacuated and no injuries were reported. 

The cause of the incident was not immediately clear.

Sally Librera, NYC Transit Senior VP, Department of Subways released a statement saying," At approximately 3:04 p.m. the emergency brakes were automatically activated on a southbound 6 train north of the Parkchester station in the Bronx.
