Initial investigation suggests the man walked in front of a train approaching Park Street in Boston on Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 31, MBTA Police Spokesperson Richard Sullivan told Daily Voice.

The man, who was conscious and alert, was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Boston Fire responded to help with the rescue.

The incident delayed Red Line service by at least 20 minutes because shuttle buses were called in to accommodate passengers as first responders investigated, the MBTA said on Twitter.

Service eventually resumed with residual delays, the MBTA said. No other information was released.
