Brooklyn-bound 4 and 5 trains were halted at the Bowling Green station this afternoon when a woman got stuck between the platform and the train in Borough Hall. An MTA Transit spokeswoman told Gothamist that "a customer slipped and they got their leg wedged between the train." The incident occurred at some time before 5:45 pm and rescuers turned off the power on the line so they could extricate the woman. She was rescued and service resumed at 6:03 pm, according to the spokeswoman.
