BROOKLYN — Service along nearly half the G train was suspended Tuesday morning due to a water condition near the Fulton Street Station in Brooklyn, the MTA said.

Trains between the Court Square and Bedford Avenue stations were halted about 11:30 a.m. because of water entering the Fulton Street Station and touching the track's third rail , MTA spokesman Kevin Ortiz said. 

"We are working to restore service quickly," Ortiz said, adding that affected straphangers should check the MTA web site for further information.

He didn't know exactly when train would be back on line, noting, "it'll be back soon."
