Sounds a bit odd, I guess it could happen, but most folks tend to look where they sit.....

What I'd like to know, that was missing from the story.... Has a claim been filed against BART over this purported incident, and is there a lawyer involved in this claim, yet?

I wonder what the on-board security camera would show?

"Anecdotal reports" of it happening once or twice a month.....?

Definition:

ADJECTIVE
(of an account) not necessarily true or reliable, because based on personal accounts rather than facts or research.
"while there was much anecdotal evidence there was little hard fact" ·
synonyms: informal · unreliable · based on hearsay · unscientific

So, since this claim is "anecdotal".... Does that really mean that no one has actually been to a hospital with a documented admission or treatment for this, or filed an actual police report, or called the paramedics....? This may well be true and not just "anecdotal", as reported. But, of course, that might require a TV reporter to stop doing their make up, at least just long enough to do some actual journalism, and verify it, right?

This story sounds a lot like the sort of stuff that Laura has been running in the LS Times, what with all of the pi$$ and s#it you will "find", from the "homeless" (of course...), that she reports is just everywhere you go on LA's Metro...… But, that I couldn't find anywhere that I went this week, yet again.....?
