UPDATE: Warrant issued for his arrest after he failed to show up at his arraignment, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.
Transit Police report arresting a Braintree lad who, on finding himself on the inbound platform at Andrew last night, allegedly thought the best way to get to the outbound platform would be via the train tracks.
Due to the foolish and dangerous actions of this individual train travel had to be suspended in both directions and electricity to the tracks was shut off.
According to the Suffolk County District Attorney's office, Patrick Finnerty, 19, of Braintree, may be alive only because the driver of an incoming train had good reflexes and managed to perform an emergency stop of the train, around 7:45 p.m.
Police say officers found Finnerty sitting on a bench on the outbound platform.
Finnerty informed the officers he was just trying to get to the other side.
Police say Finnerty was arrested on a charge of trespassing.
Innocent, etc.
