Man Found Injured at BART Was Not Attacked

A 52-year-old Hayward man found with life-threatening injuries outside of the Fremont BART station last month was not a crime victim, according to media reports.

Instead, the man experienced an undisclosed medical emergency that caused him to fall and experience blunt force trauma to the head, the Fremont Argus reported last week.

According to BART police, a BART employee found the man suffering from critical head trauma just outside of the paid area of the station at 3:20 a.m. on Feb. 13. He was transported to a local hospital and later airlifted to the UC Davis trauma center.

He is no longer in critical condition, according to the Argus.

The man was in a coma for a week and had no memory of that morning when he awoke, the Argus reports.
