Date: Monday, January 17, 2005, 7:19 pm
Line: "SFO/Millbrae" BART train (car 1693x)
Location: between West Oakland and Embarcadero stations


A young gentleman boards at Embarcadero station. He wears a grey and black woolen sweater, and a charcoal blue-grey woolen knit cap covers his head. He has an unusually pronounced Roman nose. In a single move, he grasps the back of the seat and swings from the aisle into the window seat. Landing on the unnoticed indication, he slumps back into the seat and wedges his knees against the back of the adjacent seat. He folds his hands and closes his eyes.
