Update, 12:15 p.m.: The man who was hit by a Red Line train appears to have intentionally put himself into the path of the train, according to Metro, in the latest suicide attempt at the transit agency.
According to video from Union Station, the man took “several purposeful” steps toward the train as it came into the station, said Metro spokesman Dan Stessel. He was hit by the front side of the lead car, then hit by multiple trailing cars and dragged along the platform. He cut his leg on the granite platform edge, Stessel said, among other injuries.
