PASADENA - A man in his 20s was able to pull himself from under an L Line train after he somehow got pinned underneath January 14.

Firefighters on scene assessed the man who suffered only minor injuries. Trains were stopped in both directions temporarily, according to Pasadena Public Information Officer Lisa Derderian.

The man became pinned under the train near the platform of the Sierra Madre Villa station just before 3:30 p.m. Sunday.

As a precaution, the man was taken to an area hospital for evaluation, Derderian told SGV CityWatch.

It’s unclear how or why the man ended up on the tracks.
