Multiple subway lines suspended service in Manhattan just ahead of the evening rush — and as the holiday travel rush was already underway — due to a water main break, according to officials.

The FDNY responded to 418 Central Park West for a 12-inch water main rupture around 1:50 p.m., which sent water above into the street and down into the subway.

Rescue crews evacuated passengers from at least one stranded subway train after a water-main break halted service on the B and C lines and severely reduced service on the A and D lines.
