Man struck by train in Pawtucket ID'd

PAWTUCKET -- A man struck and killed by a train last weekend has been identified by his fingerprints, Pawtucket police said today.

Anthony Bataitis, 46, of Providence, was hit by a northbound Amtrak train near Lonsdale Avenue Saturday morning, said Lt. Dan Mullen of the Pawtucket Police Department.

The accident occurred at 10:34 a.m., and the tracks were cleared about three hours later.

The 180 passengers aboard the Washington-to Boston train were transferred to a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority commuter train to continue to Boston.
