Trespasser on SF Caltrain power structure in custody after shutting down services

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A trespassing man who shut down Caltrain service for hours by climbing and sitting atop an electrical pole is now in custody.

It started at about 3:30 a.m. Thursday at the 4th and King Street station but police didn't get involved until about 6 a.m.

The disruption forced Caltrain to stop service at the station, setting up a bus bridge to the 22nd Street station.

This was a major delay and inconvenience to passengers.

The man finally came down at about 9 a.m.

Caltrain says the wires near the incident were not electrified.

The station has since re-opened to trains.
