Officer Buzicky and I were W/B on University Avenue in St, Paul. 1 was driving and Officer Buzicky }was riding in the front passenger scat. As we were approaching Lexington Parkway I noticed a male standing adjacent to the platform on the Light Rail tracks for E/B trains. I pulled our marked squad into the turn lane and yelled out my driver side window "Hey!" The male ignored me. As I junbuckled my seatbelt and put the squed in park so I could get out of it, he jumped back up onto the platform. Officer Buzicky and I crossed the tracks on foot and stepped up onto the platform with the suspect. 1 jasked him if he had an ID. He asked what for? I told him that it was illegal for him to be on the tracks. He made no movements to obtain an ID for me so I asked him again if he had an ID. He responded loudly "I'm 17!" I told him lots of people have ID's at 17. He again made no movements {to retrieve any ID. 1 told him to turn around and put his hands behind his back. He refused to follow verbal commands. [He started to move backwards away from us and T reached out with my left hand and grabbed hold of his outer clothing (puffy vest). His left hand started to come up from his waist.
