Apparently this guy according to a witness told his friends that he was going to jump in front of the train. They didn't believe him. Thanks Channel 4 for being on the scene first. I was wondering what happened when I was running for the Front Runner and thanks to UTA staff for holding the Front Runner so I wasn't late for work. All UTA, SLPD, and Channel 4 staff involved did a good job.
