New York: At least four people were killed and 40 others injured when a passenger train derailed in the Bronx area of New York City on Sunday.
Five of the Metro-North train's seven carriages came off the tracks near Spuyten Duyvil station in the Bronx at 7 in the morning, the New York Fire Department said.
At least two of the dead appeared to have been ejected from the train, CNN quoted a source in New York City police as saying.
About 100 firefighters are responding to the scene.
The train came off the tracks just as it was coming around a sharp curve. The derailment occurred near where a freight train derailed in July, WCBS reported. No one was injured in that accident.
Spuyten Duyvil is a neighbourhood in the Bronx, one of the five boroughs of New York City.
In a message posted on its website, Metro North said the "Hudson Line service is temporarily suspended between Croton Harmon and Grand Central".
A passenger, Frank Tatulli, told WABC he thought the train was travelling faster than usual. He got out on his own despite suffering head and neck injuries.
