The MTA said the 28th Street station was the affected stop.
There were no immediate injuries, an FDNY spokesman said.
R and W trains had been running express from Canal Street to 57th Street, but all lines had resumed regular service as of about 9:10 a.m.
Meanwhile, service on the 2, 4 and 5 lines was briefly disrupted because of a "hanging sign" in Union Square. MTA officials didn't immediately provide further details.
