MURRAY, Utah — FrontRunner riders can expect delays of up to 20 minutes on Tuesday after a rider caused a disruption on one of the trains, Utah Transit Authority officials said.

An incident began when a FrontRunner rider got on the train near the Murray Central Station with a gas-powered bike. When workers told the man that he could not get on the train with the bike he became upset and dumped the bike's gas inside a train bathroom.

Utah Transit Authority says they were able to drain the bathroom and that delays should only be 15-20 minutes.

UTA Police arrived on the scene and questioned the man. It isn't clear if he will face charges at this time.
