Alexandria Mayor and Metro board member Bill Euille was injured while using the transit system to reach Thursday’s Metro board of directors meeting.
Euille fell while boarding a train at the Braddock Road Metrorail Station, according to Chairman Peter Benjamin, who made the announcement in the middle of the meeting.
Benjamin said Euille fell in a way that his body was both inside and outside a Metrorail car, and was taken to an area hospital for ligament damage. Benjamin said Euille would require an operation.
“This hits close to home,” Benjamin said.
