Man tells police he has no idea how he wound up on Red Line tracks; says he didn't smoke that much at HempFest

Red Line service was briefly halted Saturday night when a man dropped onto the tracks at Park Street - just as a train was pulling into the station.

The train driver was able to stop the train before hitting him; he then got up and climbed up onto the center platform, with the help of a T worker. According to an MBTA Transit Police report:

As I spoke with [the man], he seemed to be alert but confused. {he} stated, "I don't really know what happened. I think I tripped and the next thing I knew I was in the pit with a train coming towards me. {he} stateed, "I had come from the HempFest but had only smoked a little bit of weed."

He was taken to Tufts Medical Center with what appeared to be only a small cut in the back of his head.
