Eddie Diaz,26, leapt from a Tri-Rail train in Palm Beach, Florida to try to retrieve his cell phone, according to police.
Diaz leapt from the train on Monday evening around 7:40 p.m., said the West Palm Beach Police Department.
“According to witnesses, as the train left the station, Diaz realized he left his cellular phone on a bench,” said the police in a statement. “He then broke the glass for the emergency safety mechanism; he pulled the emergency stop lever; Diaz then exited through the train’s front passenger door. Diaz then leaped and appeared to have slipped when he landed on the west platform (south bound).”
Minutes later, paramedics arrived and transported Diaz to St. Mary’s Medical Center where he is being treated for a head injury.
The investigation is still ongoing and the results so far are only from a preliminary investigation.
