San Francisco Caltrain Service Shut Down By Terrorist With Knife

  1. San Francisco Caltrain Service Shut Down By Man With Knife


    June 17, 2013 San Francisco California. At 5PM a man with a knife in his 20s was reported to police who sent in hostage negotiators and a SWAT team. A Caltrain commuter rail train was suddently stopped and evacuated. By 6PM they talked him down from a ledge after he failed to comply with orders. As a result, Caltrain commuter rail was shut down for the evening commute. The man was apparently never identified.  sfappealsfpatch


    Meaning: Could the motive of this man be an operation to disrupt commuter traffic? Accidents with semitrucks that flipped over can block all lanes of traffic, and a jumper from a bridge can disrupt traffic. 
    6:37 Trains will continue to be delayed for another hour or two, said Caltrain spokeswoman Christine Dunn. The tracks reopened at about 6 p.m., when police apprehended a suspect on the freeway overpass above the station.
