At least three teens were seen in handcuffs and people were trundled out of the station for transport to local hospitals.

    Wow… I I just missed getting on that train in Oakland, I was coming down the stairs as it closed its doors and pulled away from the station. .While I was initially really annoyed , because a strret-person held me up and caused me to miss the train, I am t now glad I missed it!
    See how things can work out good, even when it initially look bad!

      By the way, I was helping the street person who is in a little bit of crisis. It sounded like I was blaming them, which was not… but it shows that doing good…actually ended up being good!

    What is it with hospital rides for pepper spray? Just soak your face, it will go away in a couple of hours.

      Unknown if they went for exposure or for something else. As you know, folks can get hurt in a rush to get away, heart rates soar, etc.
