Protesters angry over the Ferguson, Mo., grand jury decision have forced the closure of a Bay Area Rapid Transit station in West Oakland, triggering massive delays across the region’s busy rail system, officials said Friday.
About 15 to 25 protesters – who appear to be part of a nationwide movement using the social media hashtag #BlackLivesMatter – chained themselves to a train at the station, said BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost.
The West Oakland station has been closed, shutting off access to San Francisco, Trost said.
