Metro police seek help identifying man killed by train

Metro is asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who they say walked onto the tracks and was killed by a train last December.

The Metro Transit Police on Monday released a photo of the man who they say was in the Franconia-Springfield station just before 9 p.m. Dec. 17 and walked onto the tracks.

The police said they’ve searched missing persons reports and law enforcement databases and still haven’t been able to identify him.
