A woman was struck by a train at 72nd Street and Broadway in Manhattan Thursday, snarling commutes on several lines, the MTA said.

The woman was seen by several witnesses jumping in front of a northbound 3 train around 5:22 p.m., police said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

A number of subway lines were impacted as a result, the MTA said, including the 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 trains in Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx.

Regular service has resumed, according to the agency.
