Raccoons Chasing People From DC Metro Station

A new masked threat!
Raccoons Chasing People From DC Metro Station
04 Mar 2011,

    WASHINGTON - It's not unruly teens or broken escalators at one D.C. Metro stop that’s keeping people away.

    According to one rider, it’s raccoons!

    Lisa Campbell says there's a family of raccoons chasing passengers as they enter and exit the Fort Totten Station on Galloway Street in northeast D.C.

    Lisa says she has even spotted a raccoon inside the station near the ticket machine and that Metro has posted a sign asking people not to feed the raccoons.

    Safety problems and concerns have plagued the D.C. Metro system this year. In the past weeks, a man has claimed he was attacked by teens at the Suitland station and escalators at several stops have failed.

    Watchdog group, The Guardian Angels, have stepped up patrol at numerous stations and on trains due to the increase in violence.

    Surveillance video was also just recently released by Metro of an escalator malfunction at the L'Enfant Plaza Metro Station. This occurred on Oct. 30th, 2010. This happened the day of the ‘Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear’ event by John Stewart and Stephen Colbert on the National Mall. (Is this a joke? No mass extinction caused by global warming here!)
