Ștefan cel Mare metro station incident disrupts Bucharest transit
On the morning of September 10, 2026, a woman was struck by a train at the Ștefan cel Mare metro station in Bucharest. The incident occurred around 8:15 am, leading to significant disruptions in metro traffic, particularly on the M1 and M2 lines.
Emergency responders, including SMURD crews and the Special Salvage Detachment, arrived at the scene. To facilitate the rescue, the electricity supply to the metro network was temporarily disconnected. Rescuers extracted the victim, described as being approximately 24 to 25 years old, from under the train in an unconscious state with multiple traumas.
Metrorex and the Bucharest General Police Directorate have initiated an investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the event. While initial reports suggested a possible suicide attempt, authorities are working to confirm the details. Metro traffic was reported to have resumed normal operations by 8:44 am.
