CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (WHDH) - A woman who fell and got stuck between a Red Line train and a platform in Cambridge Thursday morning has been rescued and taken to the hospital, officials said.
Firefighters responding to Central Station about 7:30 a.m. found a woman who was trapped, according to the Cambridge Fire Department.
A rescue operation prompted a suspension of service between the Harvard and Park Street stops, and the woman was extricated after power was cut to the third rail.
“We got some members in there to take care of the individual,” Deputy Fire Chief Sean White said. “They safely extricated her from the position where she was and she was transported to the hospital.”
There was no immediate word regarding the woman’s injuries. Her identity was not made public.
Trains were brought to a standstill but power has since been restored at the station and service has resumed.
Residual delays persisted for about an hour after the scene was cleared.
No additional details were available.
