BROOKLYN — L train service was disrupted after a person was fatally struck by a train in Bushwick Tuesday afternoon, officials said.

The person was found in the subway tunnel near Wilson Avenue at about 2:24 p.m. after a Manhattan-bound train hit the victim, an MTA spokeswoman said. 

It was not immediately clear if the person was walking between stations or if he or she was walking between subway cars and fell off the train onto the tracks. 

Officials did not have any immediate information on the person's identity. 

Service resumed between Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues and Atlantic Avenue in both directions with residual delays at about 5:26 p.m., according to the MTA.
