A man is in critical condition after he fell onto train tracks in downtown L.A. early Sunday, according to authorities.
The incident occurred along the Metro A Line – also referred to as the Blue Line – just after 12:30 a.m. at the Chinatown station, the Los Angeles Fire Department said.
LAFD referred to the incident as having taken place along the “Gold Line,” which is what the route used to be called before the Regional Connector tunnel opened in 2023.

There was no indication as to what caused the man to fall onto the tracks.
Metro’s A Line is the longest light-rail line in the world, serving 48 stations across more than 57 miles.
