Johnson v. Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority

Johnson, Judge.

Jimmy Johnson and his wife, Willie Johnson, sued Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (“MARTA”) for personal injuries sustained by Jimmy Johnson and for loss of consortium. The action arose from the stabbing of Jimmy Johnson by an unidentified assailant at a MARTA rail station and alleged that MARTA failed to provide adequate security to control the crowd waiting to enter the station and failed to provide sufficient trains for the crowd. The trial court granted MARTA’s motion for summary judgment, and the Johnsons appeal. For reasons which follow, we affirm.
