A man who fell off the Ridgewood train platform around 5:15 p.m. Tuesday has been transported to The Valley Hospital for a head injury. He was unconscious but breathing, police said.
A witness said that the man staggered across the platform, then fell off onto the southbound tracks.
“He hit his head really hard, crashed onto the tracks, and then he didn’t move after that. He didn’t move a wink,” said Beverly Wilson, who was one of a few people on the platform who called call 911. “I was just hoping the train wouldn’t come, because it was due in, like, five minutes. I was like, ‘Oh, God, I don’t want to see this man die in front of me.'”
“I’m still shaken up,” she added. “I hope he’s going to be OK.”
