Pedestrian rescued from under Red Line train in North Hollywood
Los Angeles firefighters Tuesday afternoon extricated a person who was hit by a Metro Red Line subway car in North Hollywood and became stuck underneath.
The victim was being taken to a hospital.
Firefighters responded to 5350 Lankershim Blvd. about 1:40 p.m. and worked with transportation officials to shut off power to the train's "third rail" so they could make the rescue.
One firefighter suffered a minor injury in the effort. No further details were immediately available.
