A spokesperson with NJ Transit said the elevator “experienced mechanical issues” about 6 p.m. March 17. New Jersey Transit Police officers, along with EMS officials, quickly arrived at the Hudson Bergen Light Rail station and “performed a rescue operation” to remove the riders from the elevator car. Officials shut down the three-elevator station while a crew worked to investigate and repair the problem on the unit. The hurt riders were not facing life-threatening injuries.
