“He suffered minor injuries,” Thibodeau said. “We don’t fear for his life.”

Thibaudeau explained there are four tracks at the Île-Perrot station, with two reserved for passenger trains and two for freight trains.

“Only freight traffic was interrupted by the incident,” Thibaudeau said. “There was only a slight delay on the passenger side.”

Police said it is unclear what the man was doing on the tracks.
