NEW YORK CITY — A man was struck by a train in the Atlantic Avenue Terminal during Wednesday's early-morning commute, FDNY said.

The man, whose identity was not immediately released, was struck about 5:52 a.m. while relieving himself near the tracks, fire officials said. He was rushed to Kings County Hospital, and his injuries did not appear to be life-threatening, authorities said.

The terminal serves both the MTA's subway and the Long Island Rail Road. Service was temporarily disrupted along the B, Q, and N trains in both directions, but it resumed about 45 minutes later, according to the MTA's website.

Commuters were advised to allow for additional travel time.
