联邦特工于周二逮捕加利福尼亚一名火车工程师，因为他被指控操纵脱轨的火车想要撞击美国海军医疗船。
Investigators1 arrested a California train engineer Tuesday after he allegedly derailed a train in a bid to crash into the USNS Mercy, the hospital ship treating non-COVID-19 patients at the Port of Los Angeles to lessen2 the burden on area hospitals, prosecutors3 said.
 
Eduardo Moreno, 44, was expected to appear in court Wednesday for arraignment4 on train wrecking5 charges.
 
Around 1 p.m. Tuesday, Moreno allegedly ran the train at full speed off the end of the tracks near the Navy medical boat, smashing through several concrete and chain barriers, before sliding through a parking lot nearly 250 yards from the Mercy, according to the criminal complaint.
 
No one was injured and the boat wasn't damaged, however, the train leaked a substantial amount of fuel, the complaint said.
 
"Moreno stated that he acted alone and had not pre-planned the attempted attack," according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Central District of California. "While admitting to intentionally6 derailing and crashing the train, he said he knew it would bring media attention and 'people could see for themselves,' referring to the Mercy."
