An announcement was made by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority around 3:35 p.m. stating that the girl had passed while riding outside of a car that was headed to the Silver Spring station.
The WMATA issued a warning alongside the announcement reminding passengers that riding outside a train is “dangerous, illegal, and likely to lead to severe injury or death.”
“Signage is posted on bulkhead doors between railcars warning customers that walking between railcars is prohibited unless in an emergency,” the WMATA wrote.
Suspicious behavior can be reported to Metro Transit Police.
Residual delays were reported in both directions by Metrorail following the incident.
