A person was struck by a Metro train
at the Cleveland Park station this afternoon, briefly closing it to commuters.
A WMATA public information officer
said it appears the person, a female, intentionally jumped. The incident
occurred around 1:20 p.m.
Metro Transit Police and D.C. Fire
and EMS both responded to the scene. The woman, who was conscious and
breathing, was transported to a local hospital, according to a tweet from the
MTPD. Fire and EMS spokesperson Tim Wilson says the woman is suffering from
non-life threatening injuries.
Commuters should expect delays in
both directions on the Red Line. Trains did not stop at the Cleveland Park
station for about 50 minutes, but the station has since reopened.
