CHICAGO (CBS) — Chicago Transit Authority Brown Line trains were halted at the Chicago Avenue stop for some time Thursday evening after a man got stuck while trying to get off a train.

The man’s cries for help sent a flurry of first responders to the scene. He was rushed to Northwestern Memorial Hospital after he was freed.

Meanwhile, power was shut down at Chicago/Franklin for the injured passenger for some time. Service had returned to normal by 9:24 p.m.
