A person suffered non-life threatening injuries in the incident, which happened on the westbound Green Line near the intersection of University and Cromwell Avenues, Drew Kerr said. The victim received treatment.

Green Line service was suspended for a time.

A suspect was quickly taken into custody, Kerr said. Charges are pending and an investigation is ongoing.
