Bricks from the curved ceiling at the 181st Street station on the 1 line fell 35 feet on to the track below around 10:30 p.m. Sunday, said NYC Transit spokesman Paul Fleuranges.
No one was injured in the incident and a train that was in the station didn't take any major hits.
"The MTA faces extraordinary financial challenges, but this is no excuse to allow the subway system to fall
into disrepair. said Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer in a statement. "New York City, state, and MTA leaders must find ways to dedicate money for infrastructure to ensure that this city's great mass transit system is efficient and safe for the millions of people who ride it daily."
