Alleged Battery At N. Berkeley BART: Suspect Cuffed

BERKELEY, CA – A man was jailed on suspicion of battering a BART passenger at the North Berkeley station Saturday afternoon, police said.

Danny Angelo Rodriguez, 37, of San Francisco, was taken into custody around 1 p.m., BART police said.

A prohibition order was issued for Rodriguez and he was booked into Santa Rita Jail, according to BART police.

Prohibition orders ban offenders from the BART system for 30 days to a year. Assembly Bill 716, which went into effect in 2013, allows BART to enforce prohibition orders for serious crimes such as violence against
passengers or employees.
