The Canada Line was shut down Wednesday around 5 p.m. between Waterfront and King Edward.

A portion of the Canada Line in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­was "powered down" and serviced halted for about an hour during Wednesday's rush-hour commute after a man was seen walking on the guideway.

The man entered the guideway at Yaletown Canada Line Station, walking southbound toward Olympic Village Station.

Transit Police said, out of an abundance of caution, "the tracks were powered down and both stations closed to the public."

The man was arrested without incident, Transit Police explained.

Police determined he was suffering from a mental health crisis and he was transported to hospital for assessment.

The station re-opened after the tracks were swept.
