MANHATTAN — A man was pulled from underneath a C train at the 168th Street subway station in Washington Heights Friday afternoon, authorities said.

The man was removed from the tracks alive after emergency crews received a call about a person on the tracks at 3:56 p.m., the MTA and FDNY said.

It was not immediately clear how the man ended up underneath the train.

As a result, northbound C trains were running express between 125th Street and 168th Street stations, the MTA said.
