SAN FRANCISCO -- A person was rescued after getting trapped between a BART train and the platform at the transit agency's Balboa Park station in San Francisco this morning, a spokesman said.

BART officials initially put out an advisory at 9:21 a.m. about the incident, which prompted the closure of the Balboa Park station.
