BART trains are experiencing major delays this afternoon after a person reportedly got onto the tracks at Civic Center station.

According to ABC7, the incident began at around 1:30pm, and took about an hour to resolve. Trains are now running, but are behind schedule. 

Update, 10/16: According to KRON4, the person on the tracks was a man who was hiding inside an alcove in the tunnel. A spokesperson for BART said that the man complained of a broken leg, though no trains were believed to have struck him. He initially refused to leave the tunnel, but was coaxed out by paramedics, who took him to a hospital. It's unclear if he was arrested.
