At least 37 people have been injured after a rush hour train derailed in Brooklyn, New York City, according to reports.
The Long Island Rail Road train came off its tracks as it pulled into Atlantic Terminal, officials say.
Approximately 600 people were on the train when the crash occurred.
Images from the terminal show the train tipped at an angle, with splintered wood, fire extinguishers and other debris on the floor.
One passenger said the scene was "total chaos".
"I was getting up from my seat, there was a loud impact and I flew forward and then flew backward," she told CBS News.
She added: "There was smoke on the train, and we were sitting there in shock."
Another commuter said the train "jumped the end of the line and went right over the embankment and into a station office".
The derailment comes four months after a train crash at a station in Hoboken, New Jersey, which killed a woman and injured 114 others.
