A CTA spokesperson said a man fell onto the tracks at the station.

CTA said the man suffered a head injury from the fall, which happened around 7:15 p.m. Chicago fire officials said the man was taken to University of Chicago Hospital in serious to critical condition.
No further details have been released. It was not clear when Red Line trains would start stopping at Garfield Blvd again. Riders should consider alternate routes.
