Man tumbles on tracks at Wollaston

An inebriate fell into the pit at Wollaston on the Red Line shortly after 8 p.m., according to the MBTA. He didn't come into contact with the third rail, no train was nearby and he was transported to Quincy Hospital with minor injuries, the T says.

Red Line riders report sitting in darkened trains for about 15 minutes as power was shut so that emergency crews could get him off the tracks and into an ambulance.
