A man has been rushed to hospital after being dragged by a C-Train.
It happened just before 3:30 p.m. Friday along 7th Avenue SE at the Olympic Plaza LRT platform.
Police say the man tried to get on the train after the doors had closed and locked.
Two officers tried to help him before he stumbled and fell between two train cars. As officers worked to free the man, the train started to move.
The man was then dragged for about a block before the train stopped, pinning him underneath.
The 42-year-old is in hospital in serious but stable condition.
