G train service was suspended between the line’s Bedford-Nostrand and Bergen Street stops as riders were evacuated through a tunnel, according to a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

Three people were treated at the scene late Thursday and were expected to be taken to a hospital for injures that weren’t seen as life-threatening, according to an official with the Fire Department of New York.

An MTA spokesman said the authority knew of no serious injuries and that at least two people were being evaluated.

The southbound G train derailed about 600 feet south of the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station around 10:30 p.m., according to the MTA.

The first two wheels of the front car went off the rails, but the rest of the car remained on the tracks, the spokeswoman said.

The MTA is investigating the cause of the derailment, the spokeswoman said.
