Man charged with trespassing after being hit by MARTA train

Rail service was disrupted Tuesday morning at the Chamblee MARTA station after an incoming train hit a man, transit officials said.

The man was in an unauthorized area that leads to the tracks when he was hit on his side about 5:50 a.m., MARTA spokeswoman Stephany Fisher told AJC.com. The area is secured by a marked gate.

The man was clipped by the train and sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

A video shows the man squeezing between a gate and a train as it approached the platform, Channel 2 Action News reported. The train then hits him in the leg.

The man sustained injuries to his hip and leg and was taken to a hospital, Fisher said. His injuries are not considered life-threatening.

MARTA police arrested the man and charged him with trespassing, the department said. The man is suspended from the MARTA system for 60 days.
