The MacArthur BART station has been reopened after being closed Friday for about 45 minutes as firefighters rescued a person stuck under a train, officials said.

At 11:14 a.m. BART announced that the person was being transported to a hospital after being pulled out from under the train by the Oakland Fire Department.

The station was reopened at 11:16 a.m. after BART crews inspected the tracks for damage, according to BART spokesman Jim Allison.

The emergency began shortly after 10:30 a.m., when a Richmond-bound train reported there was a person in the trackway underneath the train, Allison said.

The person has been taken to Highland Hospital, but no further updates are available as to the person’s condition, Allison said.
