The family of the man who died after being dragged by a Metro train is speaking out and wants more answers about his death.
Harold Riley, 50, arrived at the Dunn Loring Station on Wednesday with his service dog Daisy.
He got off the train, but Daisy did not. The train doors closed on his leash, which was apparently tied to his pants, causing Riley to be dragged as the train left the station.
Harold Riley鈥檚 daughter, Amanda Greenwood, spoke to 海角社区app’s news partners at .

鈥淲e have a lot of questions,” Greenwood said. “Our understanding is there鈥檚 a video out there and all of that. We鈥檙e just trying, of course, obviously, to get access to kind of see.鈥�
Greenwood said Daisy went everywhere with Riley, who rode Metro frequently.
鈥淢y father rides that metro probably five, six, seven times a day and he鈥檚 been doing that for probably the last year-and-a-half with Daisy.鈥�
Police said the train operator performed two 鈥渟afe door checks鈥� before moving the train. The video appears to show the man was 450 feet, about the length of a six-car Metro train, from the operator at the time of the incident, according to police.
