Black Lives Matter St. Paul is planning a "Shut Down Action" along the light rail line in St. Paul before the Minnesota Vikings home opener on Sunday.
The group announced on Facebook Thursday that it plans to interrupt light rail service at a gathering beginning at 9:30 a.m. Sunday at the TCF Bank location at Lexington Parkway and University Avenue.
The light rail Green Line runs along University Avenue and includes stops on the University of Minnesota campus, where the Vikings will be playing. Game time is noon.
The group said it would show support for Marcus Abrams, a 17-year-old with Asperger's syndrome who was forcefully arrested by Metro Transit officers Aug.
