An anonymous patron reported to the agent that a subject threatened him with a knife. The suspect was reported to be on the platform and described as a White male with a bald head. A K9 Officer and Sergeant responded to the station. Upon arrival, two Alameda County Sheriff’s Deputies were on scene had the suspect detained. There was no complainant and no merit to the brandishing. The suspect was identified and released. There was about a 7 minute train delay.
An adult male aboard the train was yelling at patrons, lying on the floor of the car and acting crazy. Officers arrived and determined that the male was in need of psychiatric evaluation. The male was transported by ambulance for treatment.
A man reported that two male suspects approached him on the platform and forced him to walk over to the mall and withdraw $20 from an ATM for them. (suspects' descriptions: 2 B-Ms, unknown color sweatshirts, baggy clothing; one suspect may have been 15-16 years old, 5-7, slim, wearing a cap, black hooded jacket, and black jeans)
A 33-year-old man went onto the trackway and sat down on the 3rd-rail cover board. The BART Operations Control Center dropped electrical power pending the arrival of police personnel. A station agent convinced the subject to get off of the trackway and accompany her to the agent's booth. The subject was taken to a local hospital, then transported to the John George Psychiatric Pavillion. Revenue service was disrupted for 17 minutes.
