BART Resumes Schedule After Golf Club-Wielding Man Smashed Train Windows

EAST BAY, CA – BART trains were briefly delayed this afternoon after a person swung a golf club at a train and at windows at the transit agency's West Oakland station, BART officials said.

The incident was initially reported at about 1:30 p.m. at the station's Platform 2. The train at the station had to be held, backing up service for all lines going into and out of San Francisco, BART spokeswoman
Alicia Trost said.

The train was released and regular service resumed through the station with residual delays as of shortly after 2 p.m., Trost said.

Photos posted on Twitter by BART spokesman Taylor Huckaby showed several windows smashed at the West Oakland station.

Trost did not immediately have information on what happened to the person allegedly wielding the golf club.
